Beaten at odds-on on debut but made amends in fine style when winning by ¾L from Long Haired Lover in a 1m maiden at Kempton two weeks ago. Will keep improving, but needs to given opening mark leaves little room for error.
Delivered on earlier promise when making all to score at Yarmouth (1¼m) last time by a head from Katara. Likely to do better again now handicapping, so merits plenty of respect.
In frame on both starts in 7f novice events at Kempton, and improved when upped to 1¼m on handicap bow at Goodwood, finishing 2L third of 9 to Tulip Fields. Would have benefited from a more strongly run race there, and may yet prove well Treated.
Better effort to date when third of 11 to Angel of The Glen in a 1m maiden at Thirsk last time. Unexposed heading into handicaps, and bred to be well suited by this longer trip. Respected.

Majestic Noor (11/10), Sorrel (5/2), Red Poppy (5/1), Dubai Quality (13/2), Make It Rain (10/1), Arriviste (10/1), Thanielle (20/1), Dutch Painting (25/1)
Lots of unexposed fillies in opposition, and not easy to judge between them. The vote goes the way of RED POPPY, who will appreciate the step up to this trip after a creditable third at Thirsk, and she may be able to improve past chief rivals Sorrel and Majestic Noor.
