Sent off as favourite (15/8), but still green and couldn't match her debut form when fifth of 15 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, good to firm). Off 111 days but may yet do better.

Shaped as if better for the run when 7¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Zouky in maiden at Newbury (6f, good, 22/1) on debut 2 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.

Looked badly in need of experience when last of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut a week ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Likely to need more time.

125/1

Went the wrong way from her debut run when seventh of 12 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 33/1) last month. Major improvement required.

Showed plenty of ability when second of 12 in a Sunday Series maiden at this C&D (good to firm, 4/1) on debut 26 days ago, travelling well. Can improve on that effort to open her account.

Forecasts

Kitai (5/6), Zouky (5/2), Centrefold (10/3), Good Gracious (13/2), Violeta (12/1), Lady Miller (18/1), Flying Barty (22/1), Golden Bullet (25/1), Verbasca (25/1), Cloud Queen (66/1), Juliana Popjoy (100/1), Go Wide My Lilly (100/1), Kanawha (125/1), Carmentis (150/1)

KITAI made a promising debut when runner-up in a valuable C&D maiden last month, beaten only by a Roger Varian-trained colt who has run well again since. She can progress from her first start to go one better this time around. Zouky heads the list of dangers following her successful racecourse bow at Newbury. Centrefold completes the shortlist.
