€1,100,000 yearling by Sea The Stars out of Green Room who made a belated racecourse debut at the age of four when merely pushed out to score by ½L over 1m (maiden) here last month. Makes her handicap debut from a fair mark (75), and is certain to be suited by this step up in trip.

Left previous trainer Henry Candy for 11,000 gns in October 2016 and makes her stable debut tonight after a five month break. Has shown a fair level of form over this trip, and boasts AW Polytrack experience around Lingfield, but Signe looks a tough rival in this small field contest.

7/1
Dual AW winner (also successful twice on turf), with her latest victory coming over this trip at Chelmsford in October 2016 (fillies handicap). Races from a 4lb higher mark tonight, but can be generally relied upon to run her race.

Three time Flat winner, who has raced regularly on the Tapeta (without success) this winter from marks in the low 70's, and could only finish a distant fifth of seven to Reivers Lad on her hurdles debut at Kelso earlier this month.

10/1
Lightly raced filly who is a two time runner up (both over 7F) in five career starts. Returned from over a year off the track at Wolverhampton in December 2016, and struggled to see out a sizeable step up in trip (to 1m4f). Drops back 2F after another three month break from a slightly reduced mark (65).

Forecasts

Signe (1/3), Mercy Me (7/1), Henpecked (7/1), Star Of Lombardy (10/1), Perceived (50/1)

Verdict

This race is all about SIGNE, who on her pedigree ought to be able to comfortably see off these rivals from an opening handicap mark of 75. Whilst Hot Natured hasn't exactly done a great deal to advertise her course 1m maiden success, Paul Hanagan reported afterwards that she ran right through the line, so this step up in trip to 1m2f should play to her advantage, with her connections clearly hopeful of adding another success to her CV with a future stud career in mind.
