Too green to show full worth when fourth of 6 in maiden (2/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Likely to improve.

Never really looked like landing a blow seventh of 10 in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, soft) 22 days ago. This is easier and he's well drawn to attack.

4/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago, going off too hard. Open to progress.

Cheekpieces on for first time, creditable second of 7 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 3/1) 19 days ago. Just about sets the standard.

Forecasts

Russellinthebushes (7/4), Zoltan Star (7/2), Guest List (9/2), Cotai Hero (5/1), Top Exhibit (7/1), Costa Adeje (17/2), Mytilda (14/1), Shamlaan (16/1), Contactless (33/1), Chaotic Carter (50/1), Graftonat (66/1), Natty Meddler (66/1)

Verdict

RUSSELLINTHEBUSHES is a typical early 2-y-o for her yard, and with her zip an asset at this track, it's easy enough to envisage her securing the ideal position from stall 3. Cotai Hero will know more this time and is an obvious threat, along with Zoltan Star back down in class.

  1. RUSSELLINTHEBUSHES (IRE)
  2. COTAI HERO (IRE)
  3. ZOLTAN STAR
