750,000 gns purchase who wasn't seen to best advantage on handicap debut at Sandown (1m) last month and may yet progress, with this race looking less competitive.

Much improved under a change of tactics (ridden more prominently) when second in 1m class 6 handicap here 3 weeks ago, last off the bridle and headed final 100 yds. Has races in her on that evidence.

Forecasts

Imperial Guard (13/8), Forbidden Colours (11/4), Abduction (9/2), Native Honey (9/2), Roaring Ralph (10/1), Carmel Valley (12/1)

IMPERIAL GUARD has burst into life here in recent weeks and can complete a C&D hat-trick under a penalty. Native Honey is another who has been thriving at this venue and he looks the danger.
