5/6
Promising sort. Won 6-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, firm, 9/1) on debut 30 days ago, knuckling down well once getting the hang of things and drawing right away. Group 1 entered and can defy a penalty.

Forecasts

Nibras Angel (5/6), Mother Mary (7/2), Streetzoffilly (8/1), Initio (12/1), Angel From Above (12/1), Sovereign King (12/1), Crazy Crackers (14/1), Viscountess Renard (50/1), Armoured (80/1), Burrows Dream (150/1), Willow Baby (150/1), Bowood (200/1), Minchinhampton (300/1)

Verdict

NIBRAS ANGEL, who holds an entry in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket in October, made a winning start in taking fashion at Lingfield so looks up to defying a penalty. Mother Mary had her rivals stretched out in behind when winning a novice at Salisbury so rates the main threat, while Sovereign King is one to note from a yard that has a good record with 3-y-o newcomers.

  1. Nibras Angel5/6
  2. Mother Mary7/2
  3. Sovereign King12/1
