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.

9st 13lb

J: Luke Morris

Made a successful AW debut on final start for previous yard but has failed to back up the form kept to that sphere for new connections; returns from a layoff and reverts to turf; follow the market signals.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Edward Bethell

Progressive handicap form at the start of last summer, winning convincingly at Haydock (7f, good) before excellent fourth of 25 in the Sandringham at this meeting (1m, good to firm); not seen again until a creditable fifth of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap (good) last month and entitled to come on for that run; first-time tongue-tie worn at Thirsk is retained; high on the shortlist under Spencer.

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.

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.

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.
