Had three quick runs last autumn, her best effort when 1¾L third of 11 to Moonlight In Paris in a 1m maiden at Nottingham in November (heavy). Should continue on an upward curve, and every chance despite top weight on handicap bow.

Failed to progress after making a winning debut in maiden company over 7f here in July, albeit not disgraced on final outing over 1m1½f here. Bit to prove now handicapping, and others more compelling.

Fourth on all three juvenile starts between 7f and 1m. Represents a powerful trainer/jockey combination, so needs respect, for all she appears only moderately treated.

Best effort (hooded for all 2-y-o runs) when third in a 7f novice at Kempton in October, but not far off that form when mid-field in a deeper event there on final outing. Gelded since, and looks to have been given a big chance by the handicapper.

Little show on early starts, but progressed to land a brace of AW nurseries in October/November. Improved again when second of 10 to Guipure in handicap at Newcastle last week. Seems sure to give another good account.

Promising start when fifth at Newbury in October, and improved when runner-up in a novice at Kempton in March. Failed to get a clear run at a crucial time there, and is the type to keep progressing in this grade.

Went close when second on debut in Carlisle 1m novice event in September but has fared less well since. Flopped on handicap debut at Lingfield in February, and must bounce back to be a contender.

Forecasts

Amir Kabir (5/2), Bavardages (5/2), Zambezi Magic (7/2), My Poem (4/1), Northern Hope (10/1), Jack Ryan (14/1), Bentley Wood (16/1), Warne's Army (20/1), Come On My Son (25/1)

Verdict

There are a number of potential improvers on display, and the twice-raced Amir Kabir is respected after meeting trouble on both his starts. He's clearly unexposed, but marginal preference is for ZAMBEZI MAGIC, who showed plenty last year, and has been given a chance by the handicapper with an opening mark of 73. Bavardages was a good second last week, and with fitness assured, looks sure to be thereabouts once more.
  1. Zambezi Magic
  2. Amir Kabir
