Well held in two starts so far (sixth in both of them) and unlikely progress needed now dropping down to the minimum trip for the first time.

A winner at Wolverhampton in December but not so good in two starts since (especially last time) and still has her penalty to shoulder.

Progressed to be beaten just a neck at this course last time over 6f, but not certain that this drop back in trip will suit.

Never a factor in two starts to date, and in fact appeared to regress between two starts. First-time hood needs to bring about more improvement than is probably feasible.

Good second on debut at Wolverhampton in December and probably wouldn't need to progress too much to get off the mark here in this small field again rivals who mostly have something to prove.

Forecasts

Sugar Coating (10/11), Angel of The South (9/4), Poetic Imagination (11/4), Jakeboy (33/1), Poppy Line (66/1)

Verdict

The one to beat here is very much SUGAR COATING. A good second on debut at Wolverhampton last time Richard Fahey's charge wouldn't need to show too much improvement in a relatively non-competitive affair to get off the mark at the second time of asking. The booking of Jamie Spencer is another positive. Poetic Imagination was beaten just a neck last time over further and should be second best, ahead of Angel of The South, the only previous winner in the field.
