Consistent sort who got her head in front on her sixth start at Brighton and only just touched off at Nottingham in her follow up bid. Threw her chance away slightly (hung left) but more progress to come and respected up just 2lb.

7/4

Improved on handicap debut upped in trip at Leicester last time out and the winner has franked the form since winning off her revised mark since. Trainer does well with his fillies and she ought to run well here.

15/2

Improved from her debut to place at Yarmouth towards the end of last season and returned with a promising enough effort when sixth of 14 at Lingfield last time. Shapes like she will appreciate this step up in trip and hard to rule out.

Forecasts

Maid Up (7/4), Eden Rose (7/4), Gather (3/1), Sassie (9/2), Glitterdust (15/2), Love To Breeze (11/1)

A competitive affair in which all six declared have chances and are largely unexposed. Narrow preference is for EDEN ROSE who improved to finish runner-up on handicap debut last time and the form has a solid look to it with the winner franking the form subsequently. Sassie is another filly in good form up just 2lb for her latest effort. Gather couldn't be ruled out stepped up in trip in a wide open contest.
