40/1

Tenth of 14 in maiden (200/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Looks limited on early evidence so step forward needed on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Dream Ticket (5/2), Amerigo Vespucci (7/2), Private Officer (4/1), Irish Annie (11/2), Relentless Flyer (9/1), Highland Bells (10/1), Maria Land (16/1), Rhasidat (22/1), Sofia Tesoro (40/1)

DREAM TICKET showed much improved form on her all-weather/nursery debut when finishing runner-up here on Friday so, provided this outing doesn't come too soon, Willie McCreery's filly can go a place better. A better showing is anticipated from Maria Land having her first start on the all-weather so she's put forward as the main threat fitted with a tongue tie, with Relentless Flyer rounding off the shortlist.
