9/4

2/5, won 11-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 14 days ago, readily. Plenty of promise prior to getting off the mark last time and mark of 82 may well underestimate her.

Forecasts

Adrestia (9/4), Englemere (3/1), Alashos (13/2), Diligently (7/1), Loudan (15/2), Havana Blast (8/1), Blinky (20/1), Oakley Boy (22/1)

Having impressed at the Breeze-Ups, ADRESTIA shaped with encouragement prior to readily opening her account at Yarmouth last time, so she gets the nod switched to nurseries. Alashos ran with credit in quite a competitive event at York last time, so he's a player and Havana Blast, who was third to the selection last time, could have more to come.
