Beaten 53L when finishing fifth in a bumper at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) last month. Probably best watched on her Flat debut.

Struggled in a bumper and three starts over hurdles and it was a similar story when last of ten on Flat debut at Newcastle (1m2f) last month. Dropping in trip here.

1/1
Made a winning debut when justifying odds-on favouritism over 6f at Yarmouth (good-to-soft) last October. Is a half-sister to top class sprinter Ertijaal among others and likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

10/1
Unraced daughter of Dark Angel bought for 50,000 gns as a yearling in October 2016. Half-sister to winner Bradfield Angel and worth a check in the market on debut.

Struggled on both starts for James Tate on the AW earlier this year. Sold for just £3,200 at the sales last month and others make more appeal.

Unraced daughter of Dandy Man bought for £25,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to five time winner Roman Impero and worth a check in the market on debut.

Improved effort despite being beaten 12½L when finishing third over 7f at Musselburgh (heavy) last time out. More needed if she's to take this contest however.

Struggled in two starts over this trip at Wolverhampton so far and likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Forecasts

Talaaqy (1/1), Effervescence (11/8), Club Tropicana (5/1), On A May Day (17/2), Angels (10/1), Dance On The Day (14/1), Morticia (22/1), House Of Cards (66/1), Haafaprincess (80/1), Its Happened Again (100/1), Ruby Cherub (150/1), Millie The Minx (200/1), Harbour Sunrise (200/1)

Verdict

The well-bred TALAAQY made a winning start to her career last autumn and this half-sister to top sprinter Ertijaal can maintain her unbeaten record in this novice contest. William Haggas has an 18% strike-rate (3/17) in recent weeks and his charge can see off Effervescence who makes her turf debut in this having finished runner-up on the AW last month. Club Tropicana has plenty of experience and is taken to finish third on her first outing of the season.
