2/1

Off the mark in Wolverhampton maiden (7.2f) in September and may have been unsuited by slow ground when disappointing at Goodwood subsequently. Looks fairly treated on return to action.

Forecasts

Serenity (2/1), Crown Princess (7/2), My Silent Song (11/2), Golden Melody (13/2), Casilli (9/1), Nordhalla (10/1), Exciting News (18/1), Karatayka (22/1)

SERENITY has few miles on the clock and looks on a handy mark for her belated return. She gets the nod. Crown Princess and My Silent Song should also go well.
