Shaped really well on debut and didn't need to improve to win 8-runner maiden (4/6) at Leicester (7f, heavy) 48 days ago, bit in hand. Should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Lowton (5/4), Chelsea Square (5/2), Valtellina (16/5), Kovu (17/2), Gotta Show Me (22/1), Frank The Spark (28/1), Chico Dulce (50/1), Expert Lady (150/1)

LOWTON had a bit in hand when confirming the abundant promise of his Doncaster debut at Leicester last time and with plenty more to come he's capable of conceding weight all round. Valtellina seems sure to step up on her opening run, with Chelsea Square a danger away from firm ground.
