Promising efforts both starts, hooded when running-on second of 9 in maiden (2/1) at Yarmouth (8f, firm) on return, caught further back than ideal. Makes handicap debut off handy mark so one to beat.

Forecasts

Pretty Pickle (9/4), Morrooj (9/2), Amazon Princess (6/1), Oksana Astankova (13/2), Willa (13/2), Foronceinmylife (13/2), Zephyrina (15/2), Kyllachys Tale (16/1), Exhalation (16/1), Agent Of Fortune (20/1), Sacred Belief (28/1)

PRETTY PICKLE is the one to side with as she has shaped with promise on both her runs and looks to have been let in lightly for her handicap bow with the form of her Yarmouth second working out well. In-form Willa should ensure that Willie Haggas' filly doesn't get things all her own way, while Morrooj is another 3-y-o worth considering.
