3/1
Shaped well on debut when sixth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 12 months ago, challenging over 1f out before unable to sustain effort. A shade concerning he's not been seen since, but can take a step forward with that behind him.

4/1
Easily best effort when second in 6f Kempton novice back in February. Looked rusty after 6 months off when tenth of 13 in handicap back there (7f) 11 weeks ago and has since left Clive Cox (2,000 gns). First-time tongue tie applied for his first attempt at the minimum trip.

8/11
3/1, left previous efforts behind after 4 months off when second of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 24 days ago, going down only to a fellow improver but well clear of the rest. The one to beat with better still to come.

12/1
Had plenty of attempts to get off the mark but again ran well when fourth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/1), just a little too free to fully see things out. Back on all-weather for her return but likely to prove vulnerable to less exposed types.

Forecasts

Raveena (8/11), Charging Bull (3/1), Middleton View (4/1), Thecoffeepoddotco (12/1), Lady Of Killarney (150/1)

Verdict

Preference is for RAVEENA, who went down only to a fellow improver on all-weather debut on return at Newcastle recently and with further progress on the cards, Jack Channon's filly will prove a tough nut to crack. Charging Bull has been off the track for a year since his promising debut but rates the main threat, with stable-switcher Middleton View rounding off the shortlist.

  1. Raveena8/11
  2. Charging Bull3/1
  3. Middleton View4/1
