7/4

Fairly useful filly. 7/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago, plugging on. Had plenty of chances already but balance of her form gives her sound claims.

Forecasts

White Willow (5/4), Peintre D'etoiles (7/4), Dubai Lady (11/4), Minute Waltz (80/1), Rothson (125/1)

Not a strong novice by any means and it may pay to side with the sole debutante in the line-up DUBAI LADY. She makes appeal on paper for a yard that can ready a newcomer and is closely related to one that made a winning debut as a 3-y-o. Peintre d'Etoiles, who sets the standard on form, can pose the chief threat, ahead of White Willow.
