Prescott filly who ended her 2yo campaign by making all in 1m Newcastle novice and returned to win a Salisbury handicap over the same trip (good to firm) 11 days ago; a 4lb rise may not stop her with further progress looking assured.

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Prescott filly who has been absent since making all in Newcastle novice event (1m, AW) on final 2yo start, beating a useful rival who currently has a mark of 102; the type to progress further and do well in handicaps; very interesting off an opening mark of 75, especially if the market speaks positively.

J: Sean Levey

T: David Menuisier

Third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last October on second start and similar form when seventh of nine in another novice at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on reappearance five weeks ago; the latter display failed to live up to his market billing (9-2) but he's a strong candidate for improvement over this longer trip on handicap debut.

125,000gns yearling by Camelot; beaten around 6l in his two runs in the autumn, most recently when third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) in October; doesn't set a high standard on that form but this step back up in trip looks a good move and he should have more to offer this season.

Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events but was 14-1 on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f, good) last month and she finished a well-held sixth of ten; now drops back in grade but this is competitive and she needs improvement.

Minor honours in maiden/novice events at Leicester (7f), Newmarket (1m2f) and Salisbury (1m3f); led over 2f out last time but looked green in front and carried her head a bit high; early days, going handicapping first time.

Never figured on Goodwood debut but showed more at Newcastle (1m) when just over 2l off the winner and he could have finished closer; bred for this longer trip and has to be of interest.
