80/1

Went close in a maiden around here over extended-mile in December, form has nose-dived since however and hard to be confident dropping back in trip after three poor efforts on turf lately.

Form: 2-68990

Secret Return

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen George

100/1

Daughter of Roderic O'Connor makes a belated debut for a yard who have had just three flat winners in the past five seasons.

4/9

There have clearly been some issues with the filly given the time between her two runs but both have been full of merit, twice finishing second. Drops to 7f and looks a major player in this field on the back of positive return here eight days ago.

Form: 2-2

Hazell Berry^b²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Karen George| OR: 45

100/1

Filly has had plenty goes now and unable to land a telling blow from basement rating, first run for new handler but seems unlikely to trouble the principles.

Form: 05-2663

7/1

Filly makes some appeal on paper and latest effort (of three) over 1m on AW at Kempton was a step in the right direction, finishing third of 12 beaten 3L. More required down in trip.

Form: 8-93

Natheer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

11/4

Promising filly, good debut run to be second over this trip at Kempton and perhaps didn't find soft ground to her liking since at Chepstow when plugging on for distant third. May have more to say for herself this time.

Form: 23

150/1

Signs of ability have been limited in eight starts so far, four on the AW, going off at odds in excess of 20/1 each time. Doesn't make any appeal here.

Considered Opinion (4/9), Natheer (11/4), Jazaalah (7/1), May Mist (80/1), Secret Return (100/1), Hazell Berry (100/1), Toolatetodelegate (150/1)

CONSIDERED OPINION waited 13 months to follow up a good debut run at Newbury but she came out and ran a fine race over a mile at this track eight days ago, filling the runner up spot just as she did on first start. She's likely to come on for that run and, over a furlong shorter, it will be hard for the others to stop her breaking her duck now. Natheer seems most likely to foil here, having made a good impression herself on debut at Kempton over this trip on the AW. It may pay to forget her run since (third) on softish ground at Chepstow. Jazaalah took a step forward at Kempton last time out and can hit the frame here again.
