200/1

Green when never-dangerous sixth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 40/1) on debut 17 days ago. Sure to do better, but she needs to.

Forecasts

Regal Vega (5/2), Arctic Emperor (3/1), Grangeclare View (4/1), Thunderclap (6/1), Helm Rock (13/2), Punta Arenas (12/1), Impossiblepossible (33/1), Carrigillihy (33/1), Calcutta Dream (100/1), Rhythmic Blues (100/1), Perthshire (125/1), Intoxication (200/1), Bambiraptor (250/1)

A few with chances, but Archie Watson's ARCTIC EMPEROR sets a decent standard on the form of his C&D second and is taken to go one better now. Regal Vega heads the list of dangers on the back of her Haydock runner-up effort, with Grangeclare View, Helm Rock and Thunderclap all worth a second look too.
