11/2, good short-head second of 7 to Haven Lady in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago, keeping on well. Hood on 1st time. Looks capable of shedding her maiden tag on just her third outing for this stable.

Forecasts

Valley Of Flowers (11/10), Siofra (6/1), Miss Sligo (13/2), Haven Lady (8/1), Poster Child (9/1), Calcutta Dream (9/1), Cafe Sydney (16/1), Blazer Two (22/1), Central City (33/1), Morning Symphony (40/1), Bad Attitude (40/1), Toybox (50/1), Colonial Love (66/1), Samara Star (125/1)

SIOFRA is on a handy mark and finished well from a poor position when narrowly denied by Haven Lady at Newcastle last time, so she's fancied to turn the tables with that reliable rival, who should give another good account. Poster Child is also one to consider.
