J: Hollie Doyle

T: William Stone

Some support for her at big odds on her Nottingham debut two weeks ago (1m, soft) and she ran well, missing the break but creeping into contention in the straight and looking to have most of the field in trouble when hitting the front 2f out; got a bit tired in the closing stages and was picked off by the winner inside the final furlong but it was a good start and she's open to improvement; such progress is needed though.
