Promising sort. 12/1, won 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) in December. Looks on a good mark for this handicap debut and there should be more to come.

Forecasts

Royal Velvet (5/2), Berrygate (10/3), Blue Virtue (10/3), Cerulean Summer (8/1), Buttercross Flyer (9/1), Vintage Love (10/1), Royal City (18/1), Last Applause (22/1)

Wolverhampton maiden winner ROYAL VELVET should have more to come now handicapping and can show an opening mark in the 60s to be lenient. Berrygate had a possible excuse last time and had gone close on handicap debut prior to that. She might be the one to give WIlliam Knight's charge most to do ahead of Blue Virtue, another who is better than she showed last time.
