Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Has plenty of experience to call upon and entitled to be firmly in the mix.

Thrice-raced filly. Last of 8 in maiden (9/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Not out of things on her penultimate Doncaster fourth but she is bred to be suited by further.

Indication Spirit¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

5/4

Proved easy to back but showed ability when second of 8 in novice event on debut at Hamilton (5f) 2 weeks ago, no match for the winner but noted travelling fluently. Can play a lead role with progress anticipated.

Form: 2

Lotting's Lass²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Swift| T: J & S Quinn

22/1

Twice-raced filly. Took a small step forward from her debut run when sixth of 9 in maiden (17/2) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, weakening final 1f. In good hands but likely be better suited to nurseries on the back of this.

Forecasts

Indication Spirit (5/4), Chumbaa (7/4), Willolarupi (5/1), Grecian Princess (17/2), Zaphea (10/1), Lotting's Lass (22/1), Match That (66/1), Drinkable (80/1)

Despite proving easy to back, INDICATION SPIRIT showed definite promise when runner-up to one with a lot more experience on debut at Hamilton 2 weeks ago and she could well be worth siding with to build on that now. Chumbaa has had a number of chances already but rates a big player on the back of last week's Carlisle second. Willolarupi wouldn't need to be any great shakes to play a hand on his debut, either.
