20/1

Nathaniel half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Gerolamo Cardano. Left her debut form well behind when fourth of 9 in bumper (50/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, looking more professional. That puts her firmly in the mix.

Forecasts

Vrheligonne (2/1), Jenny France (7/2), Sassipants (9/2), Blue Skies Ahead (8/1), Daleela (10/1), Knight Crossing (12/1), Emerald Ocean (12/1), Marvetta (16/1), Clovers Frontier (16/1), Queen Marcia (20/1), Whiting Ash (25/1), Boum Town Rosy (66/1), Martha's Cottage (80/1), Twiddle Dee (80/1)

VRHELIGONNE may have failed to land the odds on her Rules debut at Warwick, but she shaped with plenty of promise nonetheless and can take this en route to better things. Queen Marcia was much improved when fourth at Ascot recently and ought to make her presence felt, while Jenny France and Blue Skies Ahead are a pair of Rules newcomers to note in the betting.
