5/2

Twice-raced maiden and fair form shown, still showing signs of inexperience when second of 12 in minor event (14/1) at Kempton (7f) 30 days ago. Can do better still. Big shout.

Stepped up on her debut run when third of 6 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, soft, 80/1) 11 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Solray (5/4), Moon Flight (5/2), Crown Dreams (10/3), Pride Of Spain (10/1), Sunfyre (16/1), Willow Baby (18/1), Shout To The Top (50/1), No Aw There (100/1)

Little between the principals on form but MOON FLIGHT still looked a bit rough around the edges when runner-up at Kempton last time so earns the vote with better to come. Solray rates the chief threat on the back of his recent Chepstow second, with Crown Dreams another to consider on his tapeta debut.
