11/4

Ran well when finishing runner-up on her debut over 1m at Windsor (good) in May but disappointing over 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) subsequently. Worn a hood on each occasion and interesting returning to 1m here.

5/1

Finished a promising fourth of nine on her debut over 7f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) a month ago. Shaped as if this step up to 1m would suit and may surprise a few in this.

Forecasts

Whispering Bell (7/4), Euqranian (11/4), Gold Dust (5/1), Mark Of Excellence (5/1), Discovered (10/1), Graphite (12/1), Acker Bilk (25/1), Good Business (50/1), Annabella (50/1), Queen Beatrice (66/1), Millie May (125/1), Here I Go Again (125/1)

GOLD DUST can step up on her Lingfield debut by taking this competitive looking three-year-old maiden event. The selection had today's rival Euqranian behind her on that occasion and she can confirm that form in this contest with Whispering Bell, third on her only star at two taken to claim third on her seasonal debut today.
