From a decent family with several winners over trips such as this, but it's a big concern that she hasn't made her debut until now, going for a yard not prolific for its first-time-out winners.

Well beaten on both of her two starts so far, shaping slightly better when upped in trip to today's distance last time out, but still not looking like the type who could win a maiden, even of this standard.

Steps up in trip after some tame runs over 7f last summer. Has that long lay-off to deal with here, and it would be surprising if she was able to challenge here.

Steps up markedly in trip for this turf debut having gone close over much shorter. Interesting to see how she goes now racing over further, given she's not guaranteed to stay it on pedigree.

Steps up in trip from her debut over a mile when looking like she wanted further. May have learnt from that experience and could go close if showing any improvement.

5/4
Beaten by 7¾L on debut at Nottingham but started poorly that day and finished off the race well. Looks the type to come for the run for a top trainer with a leading jockey staying in the saddle.

Nathaniel filly who cost 150,000gns as a yearling and is worth a check in the market on debut, especially as this distance should suit on pedigree.

Raced keenly on racecourse debut at Newmarket last month, with Glittering Jewel finishing just ahead of her that day. Has the chance to reverse those placings if showing she has learnt from that experience.

Forecasts

Mori (5/4), Glittering Jewel (5/2), Tranquil Star (6/1), Cubswin (10/1), Getna (10/1), Stylish Dancer (14/1), Darwasl (40/1), Everlasting Sea (50/1), Quay Point (100/1)

Verdict

On paper this does not look to be a strong maiden, but perhaps GLITTERING JEWEL could be the answer. She steps up in trip here following a promising debut at Newmarket where she looked like she should have the stamina for further and even a repeat of that form could be enough for her to hit the frame in this company. Tranquil Star finished just behind her there despite racing keenly for much of the race, while Getna is also interesting on her turf debut, provided she can prove she stays this trip.
