J: Rossa Ryan

T: Roger Varian

Comparatively experienced, having raced six times; takes on some promising rivals in this field but brings useful form, having gone close in the Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) most recently; 1-1 over 7f (Newmarket nursery win) and can't be dismissed.

Landed an Ascot novice (6f, good) in July and returned to winning form in a Newmarket nursery (7f, good) last time, but she has twice finished out of the frame in races won by Magic Mild; more needed.

Made all last term in a maiden at Brighton (good to firm) and a handicap over C&D (good to soft), the latter in September on final run for Andrew Balding; back over C&D on last two outings and not disgraced when sixth of ten on latest (co-favourite); case can be made back on last winning mark.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Made all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; failed to build on AW reappearance for new yard when only eighth of 16 over C&D but it was a competitive 0-100 at the Derby meeting and she should find life easier at this level.

Beat her five rivals to make all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; didn't run badly on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and could improve for that run; this race is more competitive than she's used to but she's not ruled out each-way.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Ed Walker

Won a Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) last August and was runner-up in next three starts but she's finished down the field in her last three handicaps; wasn't beaten far at Newbury (7f) last month but this is tougher back up in grade and others are more convincing; tongue-tie added.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Promising early, finishing runner-up in her next three starts after winning her maiden here (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago; well held in her last two outings and although they were much stronger races than this she still has enough to prove.

Form & Verdict
From a yard that's only 1-40 with 2yos in last five seasons; however, showed promise at Newmarket (6f, good to soft; finished fourth) two weeks ago and has possibilities provided she builds on that effort.

Won 5f maiden and novice races as a juvenile; seemingly has limitations in Listed races, twice finishing behind Hold A Dream, albeit beaten about only 2l by that one at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August when coming from well back last time; another tough task awaits.
