Broke her maiden at the second time of asking when successful over 6f at Doncaster (soft) at the end of June. Had previously finished third on good-to-firm ground at Yarmouth and likely to run well again here.

Made a winning debut over 6f on the AW at Kempton last month. Form of that victory is working out well and she represents a yard with a 31% strike-rate (12/39) in recent weeks.

Unraced son of Camacho bought for €30,000 at the breeze-up sales in May. Half-brother to winning sprinter Syncopation and market support would be interesting on racecourse debut.

Unraced son of Power and a half-brother to a number of winners including two time Listed 6f winner Rising Shadow. Interesting to see how he fares on his debut today.

Encountered trouble in running when finishing seventh on debut over 6f at York (good) last month. Half-brother to the useful Kadrizzi and worth a check in the market here.

Finished third on both of her starts so far. Latest of those came when beaten 3¾L over 6f at Thirsk (good) a month ago. Also beaten 1L over this C&D on good-to-firm ground on debut and an interesting contender here.

Forecasts

Island Drive (13/8), Eirene (2/1), Sands Of Mali (5/1), Raven's Raft (14/1), Ferrier (16/1), Charles Fox (16/1), Captain Jameson (20/1), Redtedd (25/1)

Verdict

ISLAND DRIVE had a couple of subsequent winners behind her when winning over 6f at Kempton on debut and she can maintain her unbeaten record by making a winning turf debut here. Raven's Raft has run well on both of her outings so far and she is taken to finish second with Eirene, who recorded her first victory at the second time of asking last time out the selection to finish third.
