8/11

On the up since going into nurseries and landed 6-runner race (11/10) at Newcastle (8f) 7 days ago, suited by increase in trip. The one to beat under a 6 lb penalty.

Fair form shown on her first two runs but she came in only twelfth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) 43 days ago. More is needed on her handicap debut.

Forecasts

Dark Encounter (8/11), I'm Puzzled (13/8), Metallo (7/1), Shadan Joy (8/1)

DARK ENCOUNTER relished the step up to 1m when going in at Newcastle a week ago and a 6 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Newcastle-fourth I'm Puzzled appeals as the one to chase home Karl Burke's colt ahead of handicap-debutant Metallo.
