Disappointed on debut but solid efforts when runner-up at Windsor over this trip the last twice. First of those efforts came on good-to-soft ground a month ago and one to note in this contest.

Well held on all four outings so far including off a mark of 52 in a nursery last time out. Plenty to find with the principals here.

Unraced daughter of Zebedee cost £20,000 at the breeze-up sales back in April. Dam an unraced half-sister to winning sprinter Magical Roundabout amongst others but probably best watched on debut.

Started a big price prior to finishing well held at Newbury (good) over 6f on debut last month. Probably best watched here.

Signs of ability when seventh on soft ground at Newbury over this trip when making her debut last week. Likely needs to improve on that if she's to break her maiden in this.

Placed on all three starts so far though disappointing when only third as an odds-on favourite over 6f on soft ground at Chepstow last time out. Better ground forecast today should see her in a better light.

Run well on all four starts so far including when finishing runner-up the last twice. Handles good and soft ground and one for the shortlist as she seeks her first victory today.

Unraced home-bred daughter of Halling and a half-sister to moderate maiden Lazizah. Probably best watched on her racecourse debut.
Unraced Helmet filly cost £20,000 as a yearling 12 months ago. Half-sister to AW maiden winner Akeed Dubawi and worth a check in the market on her debut today.

Well held in two 7f Newmarket contests so far. Most recent of those came on soft ground a month ago and probably best watched here.

Forecasts

Kareva (10/11), Polly's Gold (4/1), Bhindi (7/1), Tarnhelm (10/1), Tricksy Spirit (14/1), Hurricane Lil (14/1), Helen Sherbet (20/1), Chizz De Biz (25/1), Sugar Plum Fairy (25/1), Laytown (33/1), Hold Your Breath (66/1), Butterfly Spirit (66/1)

Verdict

BHINDI has finished runner-up the last twice and can go one better in this competitive looking opener. Both of those efforts came at Windsor and she is taken to get the better of Polly's Gold who is another to have finished runner-up the last twice whilst Kareva, a disappointment when odds-on for a novice contest on soft ground last time out can bounce back by claiming third here.
  1. Bhindi
  2. Polly's Gold
  3. Kareva
