Fourth on debut in Newbury mares bumper. Hinted at a little ability in two runs to date on Flat but looks one for middle-distance handicaps down the line.

Decent bumper performer winning twice including Listed event at Cheltenham last November. Didn't really take to hurdling. Made Flat debut at Lingfield 1m4f recently and was solid fourth in 1m4f maiden after six-month break and may improve.

Ivawood filly made pleasing debut here 1m2f five weeks ago when finished well to win in pleasing fashion at 28/1. Will stay this longer trip and remains open to further progression. One for the shortlist.

Sir Percy filly out of a Sakhee mare who has proved disappointing on both runs so far on AW at Kempton and Lingfield. Tailed off latest and hard to see switch to turf making enough difference for her to figure here.

Daughter of Muhtathir who over came a stumble at start here on debut 1m2f in claimer earlier in month to stay on final 2f into third. Will have learned plenty but has a bit to find on bare form.

Daughter of Nathaniel finished last of 11 on debut at Kempton 1m3f after reportedly suffering irregular heartbeat and was virtually pulled up. Surely better than that but watching brief advsed for time being.

Has given trouble at starts both starts so far but ran well when second on Lingfield debut in 1m novice auction last August. Last of nine at Salisbury month later after completely missing the break and not seen since.

Archipenko filly out of a Selkirk mare. Beaten over 100 lengths on debut in Kempton 1m4f maiden last month after being slowly away and always behind. First-time blinkers applied but is very hard to fancy.

16/5
Unconsidered 150/1 shot on Kempton debut 1m2f last month but belied odds finshing third, staying on well from over 1f out. Extra extended furlong will help cause and looks a contender although this might be a slightly stronger contest.

Beat one home in 15-runner Newmarket 7f maiden last September and not seen again until ninth of 11 here over 1m2f in maiden two weeks ago. Appears to face a stiff task and may be one for handicaps in due course.

Mukhadram filly out of a Kalanisi mare who made promising start when keeping on into fourth here over 1m2f last month after a tardy start. Will know more this time and extra distance looks right call. Sure to be thereabouts.

Forecasts

Arctic Victory (11/8), Rozalia (16/5), Urban Artist (7/2), Spring Glow (11/2), Her Indoors (18/1), Chichloui (18/1), Penkella (80/1), Tibbie Dunbar (100/1), Abound (100/1), Cousin Rosaura (100/1), Sablet (100/1)

Verdict

ARCTIC VICTORY impressed a number of observers when winning at big odds here on debut last month. She finished very strongly over the 1m2f that day and there are few doubts she'll stay this longer trip. She sets a fair standard. Spring Glow also ran a solid first race that day keeping on well and is 7lb better off so may get closer this time, while Rozalia ran far better than her debut 150/1 odds indicated when keeping on into thrd at Kempton and is also open to further improvement over this extra distance. Listed bumper winner Urban Artist will be straighter for her fourth on Flat debut recently and also enters calculations along with Chichloui.
  1. Arctic Victory
  2. Spring Glow
  3. Urban Artist
