Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track in a first-time tongue strap when second of 10 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 21 days ago, very much having run of race. Makes handicap debut. More needed.

Forecasts

Simply Sondheim (2/1), Chimed (2/1), Bruno's Gold (6/1), Arch Moon (7/1), Bowland Park (7/1), Shimmering Sands (7/1), Freak Out (14/1), Regular Income (50/1)

SHIMMERING SANDS (engaged Leicester Thursday) failed to build on the good impression he'd made at Beverley at Doncaster last time, but he raced too keenly and can be given another chance. Simply Sondheim defied a double penalty to complete a 4-timer at Goodwood back in June and may have more still to come. Bruno's Gold completes the shortlist.
