Signs of ability when 4L fifth of 12 on handicap debut at Ayr (good) over 1m last month but well beaten on soft ground upped to 1m1f at Carlisle subsequently. Better ground forecast here should suit and drops back in trip today.

Forecasts

My Girl Maisie (11/8), Rosie Crowe (11/4), Verdi (5/1), Peny Arcade (13/2), A Bit Of Ginger (7/1), Coral Princess (8/1), Deben (8/1), Cyflymder (11/1), Secret City (12/1), Clear As A Bell (14/1), Diamond Avalanche (22/1), Whisper A Word (22/1)

Verdict

ROSIE CROWE is well drawn in stall one here and can claim her fourth career success following a good run over this distance at Yarmouth last month. Of the selections rivals here Coral Princess is likely to be better suited to the forecast ground today than when making her most recent appearance while last time out winner My Girl Maisie and handicap debutant Verdi are others to note here.
  1. Rosie Crowe
  2. Coral Princess
  3. My Girl Maisie
