If Neoma were to return to the form she showed on her first two starts then she would be a big player but there are question marks over her for now. Life Is Rosie and well-related newcomer Nymphaea are respected but the two to appeal most are In A Hurry and FANTASMIC. Both should benefit from today's extra furlong but the selection was noted making some good late headway at Goodwood 17 days ago and she still looked to be learning on the job.[Paul Smith]

50-1 for her Haydock debut (1m, good) last month, a run where she shaped with some promise but was ultimately well held; can leave that behind her in time.
Runner-up in fillies' maidens on her first two starts (7f, AW and 7.5f, good to firm); heavy defeats in her final two runs last year, however, and returns to action with a point to prove.
Promise on her debut here (1m, AW) in March and she took a good step forward when third of eight at Goodwood on her turf debut 17 days ago; still green there but made some stealthy late headway, leaving the impression this trip would suit; can progress again.
Sent off favourite for a weak maiden (7f) at Newcastle last summer and ran creditably in second; better form when second of 14, beaten a neck, on her return to action at Ayr three weeks ago (1m, good); looked the winner when hitting the front in the final furlong but couldn't quite sustain the effort; should stay this far and she won't need much more to go one better.
Improved with each 2yo run, recording an RPR of 72 when second of 11 behind a smart filly at Wolverhampton in November; only midfield on last week's reappearance/handicap debut but she should be sharper today and holds leading form claims.
15,000gns yearling; seventh foal; half-sister to four winners including Nemean Lion (Group-placed 1m4f Flat, RPR 104; smart 1m7f-2m4f hurdle), Nayala (German 8.5f/8.7f; 91) and No More Bolero (French 1m2f-12.5f); dam Listed-placed 1m1f winner (93); looks the part on paper and makes her debut at a realistic level; betting can guide.
18-1, green and always in rear on her Bath debut last month (1m, good to firm); stamina on dam's side of her pedigree and may need even further than this.
