Left her qualifying runs well behind when landing a pair of 7.5f Beverley nurseries last August. Well beaten in a sales race at the Doncaster St Leger meeting the following month and not seen since. The betting should guide as to whether she's likely to be ready to roll after 10 months off.

Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Carlisle (7f, good) last month and backed that up with a good second of 9 at Beverley (8.5f, good) 12 days ago. Likely to go well under Conor Whiteley.
|
Failed to go on from a promising debut third at Lingfield for Richard Hughes and trailed off on handicap and stable debut at Carlisle (9f, soft) 37 days ago.
|
Lope Y Fernandez filly who has shown modest form in 3 qualifying runs at up to 7f but the step up to 1m should suit now handicapping.
|
Built on Ripon second when seeing off 6 rivals over 8.5f at Beverley (good to firm) 13 days ago, travelling powerfully in front and always finding enough to hold off a next-time-out winner. A 2 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him with first-time cheekpieces added.

Forecasts
Hatamoto (13/8), Sandy Craic (7/4), Lady Britain (5/1), Leelawadee (5/1), Scheffler (33/1)
HATAMOTO looked to be doing no more than enough when edging out a next-time-out scorer at Beverley last time and is taken to follow up off only 2 lb higher. Sandy Craic arrives at the top of her game and is the obvious danger. Leelawadee may have more to offer in handicaps.
