Redcar nursery winner last autumn and placed in three of her four starts this season, just failing to get up at York (6f, good to firm) last time. Leading contender.
Won at Nottingham in soft ground on debut. Not won in five starts since but shaped with plenty promise in two most recent starts, latest over C&D when second. Strong claims of going one better.
Hasn't really progressed from debut second and two poor runs since her reappearance. Respected for leading trainer but needs to take a significant step forwards.
Well held on all three starts so far this year and whilst her mark is falling, it is easy to look elsewhere for win purposes having failed to beat a rival home here last time.
Forecasts
Crotchet (1/1), Excellent Times (5/2), Procedure (5/1), Revived (9/1), Queen Of Kalahari (20/1)
EXCELLENT TIMES just failed to reel in a thriving rival at York last time out and is fancied to get some compensation here for trainer Tim Easterby. Crotchet, second over C&D recently, is rated the big danger while Revived and Procedure have potential but must improve.
