Nine race maiden and placed twice on the AW earlier this year. Most recent of those efforts came when beaten 4L at Wolverhampton over 1m4f in March. Well beaten latest this drop in trip looks likely to suit though has a poor draw to overcome.

11/4
Maiden after seven outings but promising efforts the last twice. Beaten 1¾L over 7f at Kempton last month and ran well enough (third of four) on only previous start at this track as a two-year-old. Likely to prove hard to beat if handling the step up in trip today.

Forecasts

Varun's Bride (11/4), Betsalottie (3/1), Provoking (5/1), Av A Word (6/1), Suzi Icon (6/1), Netley Abbey (7/1), Cranwell (10/1), Lord E (14/1), Let's Sway (20/1), Lemon Drop (25/1), Lady Of York (25/1), Gamesters Lad (25/1), Royal Sentiment (25/1), Hi There Silver (33/1), Back To Love (66/1)

Verdict

VARUN'S BRIDE can register a first career success at the eighth attempt in this classified stakes. The selection has a good low here and while the 1m2f trip is an unknown she has shaped as if this step up in trip would suit in recent outings.. Av A Word can overcome a wide draw here to put a disappointing effort last time out behind him to claim second in this while Netley Abbey who wasn't beaten far in a handicap over further at Lingfield last time out can take third on his first turf start since last September.
