This is a belated handicap debut on her 11th start but she's exposed now and, while there's been more than enough this year at up to 1m to confirm that this 5f 2yo Listed winner has trained on, it's easy to envisage a handful being more kindly treated.

Relinquished her unbeaten record in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile last October; impressive debut winner over 7f (sole run on fast ground) and evidently not short of speed, having coped well with 6f in the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (good to soft) next time; however, elements of her pedigree suggest she'll stay 1m and the potential is there to revert back to Group races sooner rather than later; could easily have the class to cope with her big weight on handicap debut; first-time blinkers suggest connections mean business.

Verdict

Among the promising types is TABITI, who is the last of three interesting runners on the card for Ralph Beckett. Tabiti won in the style of a useful prospect at Newmarket and is taken to follow up. Jewelry, who created a similarly favourable impression at Newbury, is second choice ahead of Troia who has a similar profile to the selection. Betty Clover is comparatively exposed but brings the best rating, while several others can be viewed positively.[Steve Boow]
