4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 81 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Less exposed than some in here and she has to be considered.

Forecasts

Eevilynn Drew (2/1), Spirit Of The Bay (4/1), Thaayer (15/2), Cliffcake (9/1), Equisential (9/1), Liam's Lass (11/1), Temper Trap (16/1), Sabre Jet (20/1), Nat Love (20/1), Scoffsman (22/1), Fashion Free (25/1), First Dance (33/1), Finery (50/1), Roller (50/1)

A trappy finale but EQUISENTIAL is relatively unexposed compared to some and she can progress off a mark of 62 in first-time cheekpieces. She may appreciate this galloping track and makes most appeal. Eevilynn Drew is in good form and he won't be far away if repeating his recent efforts. Cliffcake has to leave his Leicester disappointment behind but he could bounce back.
