Form & Verdict
50,000gns Smooth Daddy half-sister to four winners; was never dangerous in a C&D novice three weeks ago but she ran green and was only beaten 5l in the end (finished just ahead of Copper Bay); should know much more this time and could leave that debut form well behind; leading claims.

Two wins for Michael Bell in the first half of the year (6f, Polytrack and 7f, good); 4lb lower than for the second of those but she's struggled at big prices in two starts for this yard; only of interest if she's stronger in the betting.

J: Dale Swift

T: Seb Spencer

Low-mileage filly who doubled her tally when getting up late on handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in May; sold out of Michael Bell's stable for 18,000gns after lesser effect in cheekpieces (now removed) the following month; makes stable debut after 103-day break; market may guide.

Form & Verdict
Started slowly and was never involved in a C&D novice three weeks ago but she made some late gains in that race, finishing a head behind the reopposing Invested; should be more streetwise this time and likely to play a prominent role.
