150/1

Poor maiden who has been off since tenth in 1m novice at Bath 16 months ago on final run for David Evans. Cheekpieces on for yard debut and not easy to make a case for on her comeback.

Forecasts

Regal Eagle (11/10), Word Of Honour (11/2), Blue Whisper (8/1), Enzo (10/1), Windsorlot (12/1), Khazaf (14/1), Baashiq (16/1), Mungo's Quest (18/1), Brown Eyes Blue (20/1), Harlequin Rose (40/1), Rivas Rob Roy (66/1), Tsarmina (150/1), Dandy Lass (150/1)

REGAL EAGLE is thriving under his new trainer David Evans so is taken to make light of a 6 lb penalty and follow up his ready C&D success last week. Blue Whisper chased him home that day and is fancied to do so again with fellow C&D scorer Word of Honour appealing as the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.
