Looks of limited ability and this is a much better race than the one he contested at Southwell last time when finishing last.

A lowly BHA rating of 41 highlights her limitations and she is giving away a fitness advantage to better horses.

14/1
By the mighty Pivotal out of a Galileo mare but still to produce a performance to match that pedigree. Attracted support before his latest run at Thirsk where he became agitated in the stalls and unshipped his rider.

7/2
Son of Born To Sea purchased for 70,000 gns as a yearling in 2015. Half-brother to three time winner Cosette. Made an encouraging start behind a top-class colt at Newbury and has little to find to be competitive in this.

2/1
Finished just ahead of Dark Pearl at Newbury when chasing home Dubai Thunder at Newbury. There will be nothing of that calibre in this lineup and his pedigree suggests this extra quarter mile will bring about further improvement.

Has a lot to find with Hawridge Flyer and Dark Pearl on running at Newbury. A hood goes on now but hard to see that inspiring the improvement needed.

€16,000 son of 2009 Great Voltigeur winner and St. Leger third Monitor Closely. Makes little appeal on pedigree.

Drops in class having contested two hotter maidens than this. Yard are 3-6 around here and he arrives with the stable continuing in top form.

Unraced Fastnet Rock filly out of a dam who was a Listed winner. Sister to Storm Rider and related to two other winners. None of the family have won over this far.

Forecasts

Zenon (10/11), Hawridge Flyer (2/1), Dark Pearl (7/2), Really Super (6/1), Belgravian (14/1), Royal Sunday (25/1), Saintmont (40/1), River Roquette (66/1), Ocean Gale (150/1), House Of Frauds (150/1)

Verdict

An above average maiden for the track sees John Gosden make a rare visit to the track with ZENON. His second to Hold Sway at Newmarket looks the pick of the form being tested here and he can account for Really Super. Ralph Beckett's filly continues to improve and the stable have been hot lately. The weight she gets from the selection makes her a real threat. Hawridge Flyer and Dark Pearl could make no impression on the impressive Dubai Thunder at Newbury. Both will win races before long but it is debatable whether they can reach the standard required to win this.
  1. Zenon
  2. Really Super
  3. Hawridge Flyer
