Won 6 of her first 7 starts for current yard, including C&D. Struggled on first 6 outings this year but stopped the slide when close third of 7 at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Well treated if able to build on that.

Maiden who was having her first start for Ed Bethell when second (Ten Sixty Six fourth) over 8.5f at Beverley last week, nearest at the finish. Should go well again.

12/1

Offered little in first 3 handicaps but shaped well when never-nearer fourth (Amber Hamur second) at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last week. Player if she can back that up.

Forecasts

Amber Hamur (6/4), Second Fiddle (13/8), Daring Leader (3/1), Hostelry (9/2), Positive Thoughts (12/1), Ten Sixty Six (12/1), Defence Missile (100/1)

TEN SIXTY SIX finished behind Amber Hamur at Beverley last week but did well to get so close from well back and is given a chance to build on that promise and turn the tables on Ed Bethell's new charge. Second Fiddle should also go well having bounced back to form at Musselburgh last time.
