Showed improved form on first try over a sprint trip when runner-up behind a comfortable winner at Windsor (6f) on qualifying run, though her opening mark demands more.

Successful twice over 5f last year, she pulled hard in a couple of starts prior to a forgivable effort in the Epsom Dash last time and should benefit from the drop in grade/likely good pace on first start over 6f.

Bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a 6f Catterick handicap before following up in straightforward fashion under contrasting conditions at Lingfield (5f, heavy). Has good-value apprentice retained for hat-trick bid and could go close if again able to dominate.

A dual winner over 6f this time last year, she hasn't really fired this season, though was probably unsuited by the track when well held in first-time blinkers at Brighton on her latest start.

Having finished a fair fourth in a Wolverhampton novice over the winter, she was well below that form on handicap debut/reappearance at Haydock (7f, soft), but may at least benefit from a return to less testing conditions.

Showed much improved form to get off the mark in first-time tongue strap on return to turf at Bath last time, seeing out her race in the manner of one who'll be suited by this track, and she may well defy a 7 lb rise.

9/2
Maiden who could only run to a similar level as her previous 2 starts this season when fifth in this grade on the all-weather Lingfield (7f) last time, and it's hard to be confident that she'll improve on first start in a turf handicap.

Hasn't kicked on from the promise shown when placed in 6f maiden/novice events last season, though worth another go in cheekpieces on return to sprinting, having pulled hard over 1m at Nottingham on her latest start.

Regressed for Jonathan Portman stable since winning on nursery debut at Bath last September, though new yard no stranger to success with new recruits and worth noting in the market on first start for nearly 4 months.

Forecasts

Mortubo (10/3), Ventana (10/3), Startled Lady (9/2), Artista (13/2), Reality Queen (10/1), Bluebluelectricblu (10/1), Spacewoman (11/1), Zoustar Dreams (11/1), Nifty (18/1)

Verdict

Plenty of reasons to think that MORTUBO can follow up her Bath success and she's preferred to hat-trick seeking Zoustar Dreams, who could make another bold bid from the front, while Reality Queen looks interesting on first run for a shrewd yard.
