€70,000 yearling, out of an unraced half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Iffranesia. 40/1 but showed plenty to work on in 5f Beverley maiden 16 days ago, very green and nearest finish. Sure to progress.

Forecasts

Royal Zabeel (1/2), Rainwater (2/1), Bay Of Australia (9/2), Sweet Soul Music (6/1), Rosie Sophia (10/1), Alice's Impact (11/1), This Years Love (18/1), The Man From Loule (40/1), Military Micki (80/1), Clerys Clock (125/1)

This is a quick turnaround for RAINWATER but there was stacks of promise in his first run at Haydock on Sunday when he was heavily backed and he's hard to get away from. Royal Zabeel is very interesting with Ryan Moore up after showing a fair bit on debut here last month. Sweet Soul Music and newcomer Alice's Impact are respected also.
