0-18; more realistic assignment today following last week's Ripon novice tilt, but preceding efforts in handicaps fall some way short of the required; work on from out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two of her four starts for this stable, including in a handicap over this C&D last month, but she was below her best having failed to settle at Epsom (6f, good to firm; unseated her rider on her way to the start) last time; needs to settle better returned to this longer trip but has claims back in a maiden.

Three solid efforts for Michael Dods this season, chasing home a progressive rival at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on her handicap debut three weeks ago; should give it a good go from the front.

Form & Verdict
12-race maiden who was runner-up behind the progressive Naana's Shadow here over 5f in April; respectable effort at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) eight days ago and now returns to maiden company with stamina to prove on her first try over 7f.

Consistent maiden who's proved competitive in handicaps this season without looking to have anything in hand, or anything left in the way of improvement; still has each-way claims coming back up from 5f.

Similar type to Queen Sana, being a 3yo maiden who has proved consistent in the main; interesting on penultimate effort, which has been strongly franked by the improving winner since.

Betting Forcast

100/1 Auroras Doublesix, 28/1 Khanimambo, 20/1 Skewsby, 20/1 Dreamadera, 11/4 Lady Gormire, 7/2 Moonlight Melody, 2/1 Royale Union, 11/2 Soca Star

Verdict

Lady Gormire (second choice) was too keen at Epsom last time and has to be considered returned to maiden company, but ROYALE UNION won’t mind the return to 7f and can go one better than she did at Ripon three weeks ago. Moonlight Melody took a step forward at Chester last time and should still have more to offer. [Harry March]
