Filly won nine-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, AW) on debut 26 days ago, was fancied in the betting and well positioned throughout before holding on well (front two clear). Second Mark Johnston runner, looks the pick.

Bated Breath filly whose dam was a maiden, half-sister to smart 6f winner Primo Valentino and useful juvenile 6f winner Dora Carrington. Watching brief unless vibes are strong.

Havana Gold filly who is gradually progressing with experience, good second of 10 in at Kempton (7f, AW) latest, a second runner-up finish in succession. Should be in the finish again.

Forecasts

Kilbarchan (9/4), Coolagh Magic (9/2), Khanmurjan (5/1), Wee Jim (11/2), Nina Petrovna (7/1), Bullion Boss (12/1), Mo Emmad Ali (16/1), Lord Lamington (25/1), Milabella (80/1)

Verdict

KILBARCHAN showed a good attitude to make a winning start on the AW at Chelmsford recently, with the front pair having come right away. The second has boosted that form by wining since and Mark Johnston's charge can improve to double her tally now. With the yard in excellent form, their other runner Lord Lamington isn't discounted on debut. Wee Jim was a ready winner at Musselburgh last time and joins the consistent Nina Petrovna and Coolagh Magic in ensuring this looks a decent little opener.
