Upped in trip, showed more than previously when third of 9 in maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago. Could build on that effort now going handicapping.

Forecasts

Flying Spirit (7/4), Downtown Dubai (11/4), Betterment (4/1), Resilient Power (9/1), Crocodile Roll (14/1), No News (18/1), Angel Of Antrim (20/1), Do It For Love (25/1), Rowdown Roza (25/1), Soleil Blanc (33/1), Little Red Dancer (100/1)

BETTERMENT left her previous efforts well behind when third at Chelmsford earlier in the month, seemingly suited by the switch to front-running on her all-weather debut, and she can build on that effort now going handicapping. She is taken to get the better of No News, who wasn't ideally placed on his nursery bow last time and starts out for a new yard now. Rowdown Roza completes the shortlist.
