Winner of two of her four starts so far including when justifying odds-on favouritism over 6f at Nottingham (soft) in June. Promising effort on handicap debut at Goodwood last time and races off the same mark today.
Victorious twice already including on soft ground in a nursery over this trip at Lingfield last month. Shaped as if this return to 6f would suit when finishing third over the minimum trip subsequently and one for the shortlist here.
Successful over an extended 5f at Bath (firm) in June but unseated her rider at the start subsequently. Put that experience behind her when third at Leicester (soft) last time and stable can boast a 37% strike-rate (7/19) in recent weeks.
Broke his maiden at the sixth time of asking over 5f at Windsor (good) last time out. Had previously finished a well held fifth off a mark 4lb lower than he races off today and others make more appeal in this.
Winner at Nottingham (good-to-soft) over this trip on her penultimate outing but well held in a valuable nursery at Newmarket (soft) subsequently. Interesting to see how she fares in this.
Best effort in four starts came when 2L second on soft ground at Hamilton over this trip in July. Held in two starts since and races off a mark 3lb lower than when last of four on handicap debut last time.
Well beaten on all four starts to date most recently on handicap debut over 7f at Goodwood (soft) earlier this month. Probably best watched on this occasion.
Forecasts
Holy Tiber (3/1), Tulip Fever (7/2), Mraseel (4/1), First Drive (11/2), Devil's Cowboy (15/2), Austin Powers (8/1), City Guest (14/1)
TULIP FEVER can register her third career success by taking this 6f nursery. William Haggas' charge ran well when runner-up over 5f at Thirsk off a 1lb higher mark earlier this month and this return to 6f can see her record a fourth victory. Holy Tiber made a promising handicap debut at Goodwood earlier this month and is taken to claims econd here while Mraseel from the in-form James Tate stable can finish third.
