A cracking Pretty Polly full of improvers but such was the impression created by FALAKEYAH when going in on her debut at Wolverhampton in November that she's impossible to oppose. Likealo also looked a fine prospect when making a winning start at Chelmsford City and could emerge as the main threat to Owen Burrows' New Bay filly, although Sand Gazelle, Anna Swan and Janey Mackers all command plenty of respect too.
