Finished runner-up the last twice including when beaten a neck over 7f at Salisbury (good-to-firm) last month. Races off a 2lb higher mark but likely to run well once more.

8/1
Best effort in maiden races came when finishing 1½L second over 7f at Goodwood (good-to-firm) last time out. Tackles forecast softer ground for the first time today and an interesting runner on handicap debut.

11/8
Belied her inexperience to make a winning debut over C&D on good-to-soft ground back in May. Form of that contest nothing to write home about but represents a good yard here with the likelihood of more to come.

Winner on the AW last year but well beaten on each of her three starts since joining this yard late last year. Wears a hood for the first time today.

Well beaten in all three maiden starts including over 6f at this track on good ground last time. Should handle the softer surface forecast here and making her handicap debut here.

Forecasts

Express Lady (11/8), Bassmah (7/4), Tai Hang Dragon (6/1), Highway One (7/1), Music Lesson (8/1), Tremendous (25/1), Bee Case (33/1)

Verdict

MUSIC LESSON can register her first success by taking this fillies contest on her handicap debut. The selection finished runner-up in a maiden last time but can get the better of debut winner Express Lady to take this affair. Of the remainder the top weight Bassmah is respected having run well off a 2lb lower mark last time.
