16/1

Has shown steady progression in four maidens, on All-Weather, over 7f and a mile and showed her best form at Kempton in February, finishing third of 10. Fifth of 11 beaten 2¾L last time out in a Lingfield handicap, interesting on turf debut and head-turning jockey booking.

Forecasts

Prosecution (11/8), Settle Petal (6/1), African (7/1), Hawridge Glory (7/1), Gravity Wave (7/1), It's How We Roll (8/1), Sandy Shores (10/1), Broad Appeal (16/1), Red Emperor (16/1), Duchess Of Fife (20/1), Olympic Legend (25/1), Hi Milady (25/1)

Settle Petal and Hi Milady from their draws could be the ones to lead here in the early stages. Jockey Richard Kingscote could settle the Hughie Morrison-trained PROSECUTION, setting the Lawman colt up for his first win, following an encouraging handicap debut at Leicester over 1m2f on good to soft when fourth of 12 beaten 2¾L. The Brian Meehan-trained Sandy Shores should give the selection most to think about, with possibly Settle Petal hanging on for a place.
