3/1

Helped force the pace when well-beaten fifteenth of 17 on handicap debut at Bath (5.7f, soft, 8/1) 8 days ago. It remains early days, though, so no surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 0-320

3/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 7/2) 11 days ago. However, could be ready to get off the mark back on all-weather.

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft) 11 days ago, racing towards far side. Could still have more to offer.

After 4 months off, fared no better making handicap debut when eighth of 10 at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 11 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Forecasts

Exceed (2/1), Debydinks (3/1), Ma Famille (3/1), Wedgewood (6/1), Northern Chancer (13/2), Holly Blackmore (13/2), Alainn Tu (9/1), Miss Marianne (12/1), Mikka (14/1)

DEBYDINKS may have run below-par on his latest outing, but he had finished runner-up on the all-weather on 2 of his 3 previous starts, so back on tapeta he can open his account with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Holly Blackmore has shown more since going handicapping and could be the main danger, ahead of Ma Famille.
