13/2
Placed twice in bumpers before finishing down the field in Grade 1 event at Cheltenham in March. Clearly has plenty of ability, and interesting to see how he fares on belated Flat debut, with trip sure to suit.

10/1
Out of a winning sister to yard's very smart stayer Yavana's Pace, but clearly a backward sort and could only plug on when seventh of 10 on recent debut at Pontefract (1m4f). May need more time.

9/2
21-race maiden under both codes and tailed off on return to Flat at Brighton following a well-beaten run over hurdles. Fared no better at Wolverhampton on latest outing, and blinkered now.

6/4
Teofilo half-sister to connections very smart middle-distance performer Universal. Improved on low-key debut when landing a 1m4f novice at Hamilton last month, and should progress, for all the bare form of that win is nothing special.

11/4
Nathaniel half-sister to useful 1¼m/1m3f winner Wickwing and 7f winner Little Prairie. Never better than mid-field when eighth of 14 on debut at Kempton early this month, and likely to need more experience.

Cheap purchase who was tailed off in a Huntingdon bumper earlier this month, and makes no appeal switching to the Flat.

Forecasts

Just Wait (6/4), Via Delle Volte (9/4), Chetwynd Abbey (11/4), The Otmoor Poet (9/2), Arch My Boy (13/2), Lord Of The Pace (10/1), Samson's Reach (50/1), Telekinetic (100/1)

Verdict

The bare form of her Hamilton win is not exceptional, but JUST WAIT is a well-related filly who showed a good attitude to score there, and is open to plenty of improvement. Via delle Volte was back to her best when second in maiden company last time, and will be placed at least if she can build on that, with Arch My Boy not ruled out having been highly tried in bumpers.
  1. Just Wait
  2. Via Delle Volte
