11/5
Won on debut at Ascot in May 2023. Third of 5 in novice at Ripon (4/1) on return 25 days ago, slowly into stride but made headway before final furlong, better for run. First try at 6f and on AW surface now and can improve.

5/6
Much improved when second of 9 in 6f maiden at Southwell (4/1) 12 days ago, coping well with the drop back in trip and pulling clear of the remainder. Won't need much more to win a similar event.

7/2
Third of 7 in 6f maiden at Hamilton (9/4 favourite) but lacked sharpness, then disappointed when fifth of 6 in 6f novice at Pontefract (7/2) 432 days ago. Connections keep the faith and she's back from long absence/wind surgery.

Forecasts

Shamacid (5/6), Natural Force (11/5), Komorkis (7/2), Judicature (12/1), Harry Whodeanie (40/1), Kath's Tipple (50/1), Wee Nan (80/1), Hello Summertime (150/1), Yan Tahn Tethera (200/1)

Verdict

NATURAL FORCE, a debut winner at Ascot before a lengthy absence, shaped promisingly when third at Ripon and should have more to offer. He gets the vote over Shamacid, who ran a cracker at Southwell, and the returning Komorkis.
