From a good family and proved different proposition when winning 7f Haydock novice (22/1) 23 days ago, making all. That was a thin race but she could improve further still now handicapping.

Forecasts

Grantley (7/4), Rhoscolyn (10/3), Serious Intention (7/2), Possible Ambition (9/2), Run This Way (17/2)

GRANTLEY fared best of a trio to challenge early in a messy Haydock nursery last month and looks set for a big run here with the step up to 1m sure to suit. Run This Way won a novice at the Lancashire track on the same day and could have more to offer again now handicapping. Rhoscolyn and Possible Ambition both disappointed at York, but this nursery isn't as competitive and they could bounce back.
