Second on her 6f Leicester debut (soft) at the start of August and actually achieved a bit more when fifth of 11 over 7f at Doncaster since, leading until over 1f out. The drop back to 6f may help.

Forecasts

Stop The Cavalry (85/40), Marie Ellen (3/1), Dramatic Effect (9/2), Lordsbridge Flyer (6/1), Dark Sun (15/2), Sharrow Gray (12/1), Estelle (22/1), Star Jameela (25/1)

The good form of the Ralph Beckett yard shows no sign of stopping and STOP THE CAVALRY gets the nod to make a winning debut, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Dark Sun is another newcomer who makes obvious paper appeal, while Marie Ellen and Dramatic Effect have shown a fair level of ability in their 2 starts and should also be in the shake-up.
