20,000euros foal, £40,000 yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Wejdan (5.5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 102) and It Just Takes Time (5f-7.4f including 2yo; 100); dam 6f/7f winner, half-sister to winners Wassiljew (Listed-placed 7.5f-1m4f) and Whiteout (useful 2m-2m3f hurdle); quite a lot to like on pedigree and yard is 15% with juveniles this season.

9st 9lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Successful at Leicester on 2yo debut and solid record (2121) on Wolverhampton AW since, making all to beat Nad Alshiba Green on reappearance (5f) most recently; progressive filly who warrants respect.

J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

Progressive front-runner in sprint novices as 2yo, winning two from three; lost nothing in defeat on handicap debut over C&D last February when giving best to one ahead of his mark and, despite the absence since, she may well give a bold show off the same mark.

Layla Liz

9st 11lb

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Archie Watson

Well-bred filly, who has form figures of 121 in novice events including an emphatic win over C&D on Boxing Day; now switches to a competitive handicap but she's still unexposed and is open to more progress; interesting contender and her first win was under Laura Coughlan.

Second foal; half-sister to 6f AW winner Runaround Sioux (RPR 74); dam 6f 2yo winner (80), half-sister to winners Sunday Sovereign (useful 5f-6f including 2yo) and Red Alert (prolific 5.7f-7f); yard 16% with 2yos here in recent years and market should guide on debut.

Be An Angel

J: Lewis Edmunds

Off the mark in a maiden at Leicester in May (6f, good to firm), but her form in handicaps since has been patchy; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt.

Finally won her maiden when scoring at Leicester in May; 0-6 in handicaps since but she went close off this mark at Windsor (also 6f, good to firm) last month and didn't get the breaks at Salisbury last time.

Be An Angel

9st 5lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Rod Millman

Leicester maiden winner in May (7f, good to firm); similar form when second over Windsor's 6f on her penultimate start (good to firm) but beaten further back there 11 days ago when soft ground was no excuse; seems inconsistent.

Form & Verdict
Well-held fourth of five on Haydock debut (6f, good) in July but she left that form behind when a staying-on second behind an odds-on rival at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; sets a fair standard on that form and she's a major player if she copes with this drop back in trip.

My Mate Beattie

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.

Yard, who also run Lil Wade, ended a losing run early in the week; this longstanding maiden, who hasn't achieved much in four runs since leaving Ed Dunlop, isn't obviously fancied.

Fourth foal; half-sister to winners Rhossili Down (6f AW; RPR 82) and Exuding (6f; 78); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (93), half-sister to German 1m Group 3 and 1m3f Listed winner Turning Light, out of German 7f winner/German 1,000 Guineas third; one of two newcomers for Archie Watson and the market should be informative.

J: Luke Morris

Runner-up in 5f AW maiden on seasonal debut in March but all three subsequent handicap runs (5f-6f) have been underwhelming; tried cheekpieces last time; blinkers given a whirl here; needs to up her game.

Form & Verdict
Out of a Listed winner who has produced a Listed AW winner; 6l third in both her runs but she ran into a useful prospect at Southwell ten days ago and that was after a break; has something to find with My Mate Beattie on this return to turf but stayed on well last time and is open to more progress; in the mix.

9st 9lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: Marco Botti

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.
