Verdict

EXPELLIARMUS improved markedly from her debut and was better than the result when third in a Navan maiden last time, so she's a confident choice to open her account at the likely expense of Space Age. Pittsford is likely to benefit from his initial experience at this course, so he's expected to get closer this time.
