Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 28/1) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Hadman (11/8), Spirit And Glory (9/4), Knocklane Lass (11/4), Kisses Of Fire (18/1), Guess (20/1), Gloria Rosa (50/1), Aristovic (200/1)

KNOCKLANE LASS and Hadman are closely matched at the weights and will likely fight this out, with the former marginally preferred on account of a fitness edge and track experience. If they both fluff their lines, Spirit And Glory is the likeliest to capitalise.
