2/7

Shaped really well when second on 5f Nottingham debut in May. Wasn't up to the Woodcote at Epsom (6f) 12 days later but her opening effort suggests she's more than capable of winning a race like this.

KEEP BIDDING found a competitive conditions event at the Epsom Derby meeting a bit too much for her last time but she'd shaped well when runner-up in a maiden prior to that and is the one to beat with her sights lowered. The main threat could well come from the well-bred Andrew Balding newcomer Matching Sox.
