Regressive maiden who's found her level for this yard, twice finishing second on turf last month, including over this sort of trip for the first time latest; needs to improve on previous AW work if she's to make it 14th time lucky.

0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence.

No win in her first 13 starts but she's won three of her last four including at Bath (1m/1m2f) in her last two runs; up 3lb for her narrow success last time but she's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player back down in trip.

Charlatan

9st 3lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: David Simcock

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.

13/2

Verdict

Fast Bullet (second choice) is respected following a 3lb rise for February’s C&D success but MERAPI built on her yard debut when keeping on into fifth at Wolverhampton last time and has been dropped another 2lb. Eutropia and Charlatan are others for the shortlist. [Harry March]
