5/2

9/10, won 9-runner handicap at Baden-Baden (9f, good to soft). Off 174 days. First run for yard after leaving Markus Klug. Unbeaten and mark of 80 may underestimate her, so market could be informative.

Forecasts

Strong Impact (9/4), Roxanne (5/2), Ayyab (3/1), Moogie (6/1), Avon Light (10/1), Dayzee (12/1), Smiling Sunflower (40/1)

AYYAB has some strong form to her name and shaped well when second (despite interference) at Southwell recently so, with a fitness edge over her main rivals, she's the one to side with. Roxanne is unbeaten to date and looks an intriguing British debutante, while Strong Impact and Moogie should both have more to offer
