Form & Verdict
Outpaced from halfway when fourth to an odds-on favourite on C&D debut (good, 25-1, beaten over 8l) in April; in the process of building on that next time when badly hampered in a messy race at Wetherby (5.5f); still early days, but others make more appeal.

Dakota Dawn

T: John & Sean Quinn

Looked as though she might do better in nurseries when third of five in a Ripon maiden (5f, good) in June, but it hasn't turned out that way; hopes pinned on the different surface making a difference with her sire 19-95 (20%) here in past five seasons.

She could be capable of better than she's shown in her first two nurseries (5f, good to firm) but she's not easy to fancy after those runs.

No improvement for the switch to nurseries when last of six at Thirsk 30 days ago (5f, good; played up before the start); still has time to deliver on the promise of June's Ripon third.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up both starts; unable to get to grips with the pacesetter (winner) when a beaten odds-on favourite at Catterick (5f, good) last week; on RPR's that represented a backward step from Yarmouth but there was possibly a rail bias, so she's still a major player.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher.

J: Kieren Fox

T: Tony Carroll

Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in five handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but she struggled at Nottingham last time and others are preferred.

OR:

Form & Verdict
£410,000 breeze-up purchase; no match for Queen Mary bound Zelaina on Nottingham debut (5f, good; third, 100-30); she's fully entitled to build on that, and this lacks a rival of that same calibre; granted even minimal improvement, she's likely to be bang there come the finish.

Improved with each of her first four 2yo runs, following a Yarmouth novice win with a cosy success at Sandown last July; flopped on soft ground wn last seen but that isn't the run to judge her on; absent for 275 days but likely there is more in the tank.

Form & Verdict
Fourth foal from an unraced dam; half-sister to winner Oosterpark (1m4f; RPR 83) and Sam Sarphati (2m1f; 59); lacks experience of competitive action, but her trainer has been flying with his juveniles (36% strike-rate), so she's well worth a market check.
