Out of a unraced half-sister to two German Listed winners; did not travel sweetly but still made very promising debut when keeping-on second of 13 at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) last month; likely contender here.

Won twice for Ed Walker, including on Tapeta (1m), but she has finished down the field in two runs for this yard (in season latest); has a point to prove for now.

Oolong Poobong

9st 8lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Edward Bethell

Progressive filly who put the race to bed quite convincingly for her first handicap win, at Haydock (7f, good) last May; had a much stiffer task in the Sandringham (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot after but ran a cracker in fourth, drifting across from a high draw; off since though so fitness unknown and market helpful; tongue tied this time.

This represents a marked rise in grade but she took what looked a competitive Haydock 7f handicap apart last month and a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world; dam won over this far; her yard won last year's Britannia with a similarly progressive type.

Won 6f 2yo AW novice last August and went close in big field at Doncaster last September on second nursery start (6.5f, good; unraced on softer); another near-miss at Newcastle (7f, AW) three weeks ago on reappearance and she's in good hands to continue to progress; one to consider.

Maids Head

Well ridden by Robert Havlin (he got her handy from a wide draw) to record breakthrough success at Chelmsford this month (7f); is well berthed on this occasion and a 3lb rise could be shrugged off.

In the frame in seven of her nine starts, as when beaten a length into fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month (runner-up has won since); return to this trip should suit and, despite her wide draw, she holds each-way claims again.

Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company.

Low-key debut at Haydock in July (6f, good) but there was much more to take from her recent Kempton third, on the back foot after a slow start but keeping on well in the closing stages behind an impressive winner; plenty more to come and she's one of the likelier ones.
