Handicap debutante; minor promise in maidens at 7f-1m; potential improver; market check advised.

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.

Close third on debut at Galway (7f, soft) last September; nowhere near that level in two runs this year but could do better now tackling a handicap for the first time, especially if the market speaks in her favour.

Definite signs of ability in three AW starts for Gavin Cromwell; off since January and cheekpieces on for stable, turf and handicap debut; market can guide.

SR 70 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Handicap debutante; No sign of winning potential in three qualifying runs at 6f-1m2f on testing ground; pedigree suggests these quicker conditions will be more to her liking and yard in superb fettle; interesting.

SR 64 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

0-10 but has improved for each run this season; beaten 1.75l when third of 10 at Gowran latest (7f, soft); this trip should suit on that evidence but good ground is a query.

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
