Third on first 2 starts for Seb Spencer but struggled badly in 2 subsequent outings, including nursery debut. Has changed stable ahead of this first outing for 7 months. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

Modest form in 3 all-weather novices this year but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance. One to note in the betting.

Half-sister to connections' very useful sprinter Adaay In Devon. Showed a bit of promise in her 3 qualifying runs on turf last season and again when fourth of 8 on 6f Wolverhampton handicap debut/reappearance. Open to improvement and leading claims.

No obvious promise in 3 qualifying runs on all-weather at the end of 2025 but in good hands and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on this turf and handicap debut after 131 days off (has been gelded).

Down the field in 3 all-weather starts in Ireland for Ross O'Sullivan but worth a second look in the betting now handicapping for a new yard with a tongue strap added.

Made his second nursery start a winning one at Chelmsford (5f) last summer but has found things tougher since, including eighth of 12 at Southwell (5f) 23 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.

Modest maiden. Went close in 6f Wolverhampton handicap in February but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 2 subsequent outings. Maid In Devon is the more obvious of the yard's pair.

Forecasts

Takincareofbizness (10/3), Staniel Cay (6/1), Seven Of Hearts (8/1), Maid In Devon (17/2), Mereside Spark (17/2), Faithful Dream (10/1), Rosieisme Darling (10/1), No Claims Bonus (10/1), I'm Dan Dare (11/1), Our Hero Matty (16/1), Magnificent Mel (20/1), Yesnia (20/1), Muddy Nora (22/1), Hellcat (25/1), Doilookokay (28/1), Amakhala (33/1), Independent Angel (66/1)

Verdict

MAID IN DEVON should be sharper with her handicap debut/reappearance behind her and gets the vote for Rod Millman. Rosieisme Darling will be a threat if she can carry this winter's good all-weather form over to the turf. Seven of Hearts and Takincareofbizness appeals as possible improvers now handicapping, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour.
