Filly who came in for some support on debut when 10-1 and showed promise with a staying-on fourth (beaten just over 3L) at Haydock (1m4f, good) last month. Looked likely to improve for that experience and could go close this time.
Improved on a moderate debut effort when 8L seventh of 12 in a Kempton maiden (1m, AW), when last seen in January. Dam won over this trip, so the step up should suit, but she will need plenty of improvement.
Has shown promise on all three starts, her best effort being on her second outing in a Kempton fillies' novice event (1m2f, AW) last month. Again went close at Beverley (1m2f, good) last time, and is the one to beat on form shown so far.
Came in for support ahead of her debut, when she showed a good attitude in finishing just under 4L third of 10 in a Thirsk maiden (1m4f, good). Should improve on that this time, and no surprise if she has a big say.
Forecasts
Lightness (11/8), Be Easy (9/4), Margaret Dumont (5/2), Haida Gwaii (25/1)
A potentially trappy contest, with more than just an element of guesswork as to who will find the most improvement. Lightness is the form selection on achievements so far, but she is also vulnerable to an improver and the suggestion is BE EASY, who made a promising start and is taken to come good this time. Margaret Dumont is feared, while Haida Gwaii has a bit to find, but should do better over this longer trip.
- Be Easy
- Margaret Dumont
- Lightness
