Wore a hood (retained) when winning on debut over 1m on good-to-soft ground last October. Form of that could be working out better though looks likely to appreciate this step up in trip and interesting in this.

Forecasts

Marilyn (3/1), Celestation (4/1), Carol (5/1), Di Alta (5/1), Harebell (7/1), Prize Diva (8/1), Three Duchesses (12/1), Canterbury Quad (20/1)

Verdict

CAROL ran well to finish fourth over C&D when racing from off the pace for the first time last time out. The selection appeared looks likely to appreciate the stiffer test of stamina that the forecast soft ground will provide here and she can get the better of Di Alta who was successful on her only start at two and her breeding suggests that this step up in trip should suit. Of the remainder Celestation disappointed last time out having finished runner-up at Pontefract on her first start of the season and she looks likely to attempt to make all.
