A winner at Lingfield last December and now 2lb lower than that, so no issues with her mark, but unproven beyond 1m and softer ground conditions ask another question as well. Plenty to prove then, and others preferred.

Won a handicap (in this grade) at Redcar last season and that was on soft, so should handle likely ground conditions fine, and seems to have found some consistency to her work lately, winning again at Redcar last time out. Only up 2lb for that, proven at the trip, and must hold chances of following up.

Handles soft/good to soft well, and this trip fine. Battled on well when just denied at Yarmouth latest and on same mark here. Useful apprentice takes 7lb off and could be hard to pass if getting her own way up front again. Not discounted.

Won off a much higher mark than this at Windsor last year but her form has taken a major turn for the worse recently. Slightly better at Newbury last time, but that's not saying much, and makes little appeal at present.

No win after 20 starts but does try hard, and may be capable of picking something up this season. Only moderate efforts lately but return to slower conditions may help, stays this trip, and not totally discounted.

Still a maiden after 28 starts and on recent evidence, doesn't look like breaking that duck any time soon. Well beaten lately and no realistic chance here.

Forecasts

Maulesden May (6/4), Favorite Girl (5/2), Inflexiball (7/2), Della Valle (8/1), Amber Mystique (8/1), Heart Locket (8/1), Sepal (10/1), La Havrese (12/1), Bertha Burnett (33/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these have questions to answer in one form or another, so it looks a good opportunity for MAULESDEN MAY to follow up her Redcar win if in the same form. She looks progressive and has found some consistency too, so there's plenty to like about her chances. Inflexiball is yet to win one but these conditions could be what she needs and she's taken to be the danger. Favourite Girl holds no secrets from anyone but may give this a good go from the front and can't be allowed too much rope.
