9st 2lb

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.

J: Billy Loughnane

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.

Best form for Andrew Balding came on turf, including wins at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and Epsom (7f, good to soft) last year; makes stable debut after 190 days off having changed hands for 50,000gns in October; market informative.

Recorded a game success in Brighton maiden (6f) in June; neck second, clear of remainder, upped to 7f at Chester (good) most recently; this 3yo filly may do better still and is one to consider.

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.

C&D winner for Mick Appleby; improved run by run for her new stable, successful in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (7.4f, heavy); 3lb rise manageable but this looks a deeper event.

Built upon low-key stable debut when third of six at Chepstow (7f, soft) this month; won't be far away if in similar form again here but modest 1-18 strike-rate reduces her appeal.

Sole success came when trained by Michael Appleby in January (7f, AW); two moderate runs for Harry Eustace in June and subsequently sold for 2,200gns; headgear removed when sixth of nine on stable debut here (6f, good) last month and she needs to show more.
