5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 66/1) 43 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Could get back on track sent handicapping back up in trip but has high draw to contend with.

Forecasts

Watchdog (3/1), Uncle Nader (3/1), Popty Ping (4/1), New Objective (5/1), Baggot Street (5/1), Diamond Ali (6/1), Mereside Princess (9/1), Flying Macs (10/1), Giles Glory (12/1), Heated Moment (18/1), Havana Song (66/1)

POPTY PING has a first-time visor applied and can gain reward for a string of consistent efforts in defeat. Mereside Princess rates next best going back up in trip, the return to a bigger field likely to help her, whilst Uncle Nader stayed on well over 1m at Chelmsford last time and would also be in the mix if coping with the drop to 7f.
