2/1

Promising type. Won 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 6/4) 26 days ago, having run of race. Remains open to improvement and she's very much the one to beat.

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 50/1) 13 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Will be of greater interest in handicaps further down the line.

Forecasts

Sherbet Lemon (4/9), Skulk (2/1), Asamosa (10/1), Tarneemat (16/1), Oh So Quiet (25/1), Sweet Vinetta (33/1), Little Miss Moo (200/1), Faodail (200/1), Miss Bobcat (300/1)

It's hard to look beyond the well-bred SKULK, who confirmed the promise of her debut when scoring upped to this trip at Lingfield last month. She is likely to go on to better things in time. Asamosa should leave her low-key Kempton introduction well behind in due course, but she's probably more of a medium-to-long term prospect and newcomer Sherbet Lemon may be the one for the forecast.
