11/2

Expensive buy after her breeze and promising start when second of 5 at Ascot in May, running on. That race didn't really work out but she's open to progress on the back of a wind op.

Kept on amidst greenness when second on debut and got closer to that rival when occupying same spot at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Should progress and she's a leading player.

Forecasts

Mrs U S A (5/4), Soaring Eagle (11/4), Annie Maher (11/2), Mehme (15/2), Mission Storm (14/1), Covetable (16/1), Song Of Success (22/1), Shawasha (28/1), Novus (40/1), Miss Attitude (40/1)

ANNIE MAHER must have breezed well given her sales price, and having found only one too good starting out at Ascot in May, she could be the answer on the back of a wind op. Mrs U S A has a brace of runner-up efforts to her name and seems sure to go well again, with Soaring Eagle a likely newcomer on paper.
