2/1
Hooded but still raced too freely when fifth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7f) on debut 19 days ago. The drop to 6f could be a good move and Billy Loughnane takes the reins this time. Has the potential for significant improvement.

Mayson filly. Sister to useful winner up to 1m Stone Soldier and half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner L'addition and 1m winner Duchess of Fife. Bred to have a future but best watched this time unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, fifth of 8 in novice at this course (5f) 14 days ago, caught widest but finishing well. Should have more to offer back at 6f.

Fair maiden. Good second of 5 in C&D novice 16 days ago. Sets the standard with Oisin Murphy riding but she has had a few chances.

Forecasts

Hen Party (10/11), Wild Act (2/1), Grey Force (9/2), Alpine Culture (10/1), Cryingintherain (16/1), Anaba Girl (50/1), No Drama Mama (100/1)

Verdict

The drop to 6f could suit WILD ACT and he's taken to leave his debut behind and prove too strong for Hen Party, who has the best form but is quite exposed after 5 starts. Cryingintherain and Alpine Culture are others likely to be on the premises.

  1. Wild Act2/1
  2. Hen Party10/11
  3. Cryingintherain16/1
