Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 8-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in October. Will stay 6f and should improve.

6/1

Fair filly who came very close to getting off the mark in 10-runner maiden at this course (5f, AW) 17 days ago, edged out only late on. Is exposed now but should give her running again.

10/1, again showed ability when second of 8 in novice event over C&D (AW) 20 days ago, late headway after forced wide home turn. Will go on improving.

Forecasts

Mummy Bear (4/7), Rita The Cheetah (11/2), Mahale (6/1), Rosie Powers (6/1), Passionova (15/2), Just Amber (18/1), Laetoli (66/1), Bayamon Belle (80/1)

MUMMY BEAR was no match for a well-backed newcomer over C&D last time, but that was still a step forward and she appeals as the type to go on improving, so shades the vote over the penalised Rita The Cheetah, who overcame inexperience to make a winning start at Wolverhampton in October. Rosie Powers is bred to need further than this but still needs respecting on debut for a good stable.
