5/1
Shock 66/1 winner last time out over C&D when leaving ordinary turf form well behind. 7lb penalty to contend with here which makes life tougher but should go well nonetheless.

3/1
Ran well on debut when second at Kempton before shade disappointing at Pontefract. Had near two month break and back on AW she could show better form. Trainer's lone runner this afternoon and surely not come this far for nothing.

12/1
Much improved effort over C&D latest when third at 66/1 after modest debut at Wetherby. Draw ideal for same front-running tactics so has an each-way shout.

In rear throughout and tailed off last here on debut last month. Yard not had a two-year old success in recent years and that unlikely to change here.

10/1
Eighth at Redcar and Seventh at Pontefract in summer novice auction stakes. Layoff since for a trainer who generally runs them if fit so that a concern and form short of required in a any case.

7/4
Had both runs here and built on fourth on debut over 6f with second over this trip last time behind a decidedly smart winner. More to come and no Augenblick in this race so big chance today.

Green and mid-division on debut over C&D last month. More needed to be involved although open to improvement as one of the lightest races fillies in the lineup.

€3,000 Roderic O'Connor newcomer is related to winners in the US and Italy. Trainer has very few two-year old winners and hood first time up rarely a good sign

Forecasts

Riverside Walk (7/4), Lady Al Thumama (5/2), Great Shot Sam (3/1), Strawberryandcream (5/1), Blue Harmony (5/1), Miss Van Winkle (10/1), Ideal Candy (12/1), Whererainbowsend (33/1), Leahcar (100/1)

Verdict

RIVERSIDE WALK bumped into a smart one last time but wasn't disgraced in second and this looks a good opportunity to open her account. Lady Al Thumama chased that same rival home on debut and ran well enough last time at Newmarket. A tongue-tie could help her. Great Shot Sam is Andrew Balding's only runner this afternoon and he surely hasn't come this far unless he thinks this filly has a chance.
