Fair seventh in a handicap over this trip at Pontefract (good) on seasonal debut last time. Likely to have improved for the run and is one for the shortlist in this event.

34 race maiden under all codes and finished a well beaten tenth in a novice event over an extended 7f at Chester (soft) in September last year on her most recent start. Others make more appeal.

Ended last year with a good third in a 1m2f handicap at Beverley (good-to-firm) in August. Has won over further in the past and is worth a check in the market on seasonal debut.

12 race maiden finished a well held eighth in a 1m4f handicap at Pontefract (good) on last months reappearance. Not ruled out completely having run well in a similar race to this over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle in December.

Shown little in four starts to date most recently when 11th of 13 on handicap debut over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month. Blinkers tried for the first time on turf debut.

Beaten 5L when finishing third in a six runner 1m6f event on handicap debut at Redcar (good) recently. Drop back in trip looks likely to suit and she is an interesting runner in this contest.

Maiden after four starts and struggled in a similar race to this over 1m2f at Chelmsford in February. Stepping up in trip and is probably best watched at present.

Seven race maiden has registered two fair efforts since joining this yard most recently when fifth in a 1m handicap at Bath (good-to-firm) last week. Stamina to prove stepping up markedly in distance.

Struggled in three starts last year and it was a similar story when last of nine on seasonal and handicap debut in a 1m contest at Thirsk (good) last month. Stamina to prove over this distance.

Four race maiden was beaten 14L when tenth of 13 in a 1m2f event on handicap debut at Chelmsford last time out. Interesting to see how she performs for a yard with a 20% strike-rate (3/15) of late.

Decent effort in finishing 5½L fifth over 1m2f when making her handicap debut at Chelmsford last month. Notable runner stepping up in trip with a hood tried for the first time.

Forecasts

Volcano Bay (7/2), Lady Shanawell (4/1), Boulevard Beauty (9/2), African Sun (9/2), Feebi (5/1), The Brora Pobbles (11/2), Grimsthorpe Castle (8/1), Splash Of Verve (16/1), Famous Minx (20/1), Margaretha (25/1), Casablanca Kid (50/1), Just Call Me Ella (66/1), Just Heather (200/1)

Verdict

LADY SHANAWELL ran well in defeat when runner-up last month and she is taken to register a third career success by taking the concluding race on the card. Feebi carries top weight here following a promising handicap debut and she can take second spot ahead ahead of Splash Of Verve who ended last season with a decent placed effort and is making his seasonal debut.
  1. Lady Shanawell
  2. Feebi
  3. Splash Of Verve
