Two B Tanned (second choice) rates a solid option off effectively the same mark as when bringing up her hat-trick, while Mandana also appeals on this return to 1m. However, there are potential improvers lurking and it will be disappointing should the well-bred TEQUILA be unable to raise her game off this low a mark now switched to handicaps.[Alistair Jones]

Maiden winner for previous yard; mixed record in handicaps and down the field in both her runs for James Owen; no headgear this afternoon and now has a bit to prove, including trip-wise.
Inconsistent for William Haggas, though did win a 1m2f maiden and went close in a 1m Sandown handicap; faded away on stable debut (1m2f, good) but was only 4-1 for that handicap and should win races for new yard.
Unbeaten in this headgear combination and brought up her hat-trick without too much fuss at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); that was a Class 6 but effectively off the same mark here with a 5lb claimer drafted in; likely to go from the front.
Had seven races for Brian Meehan, her sole success coming over 7f here last summer (good to soft; 3lb lower); another good run the final time but also on slow ground (6f, heavy) and could do with some rain; bought for 32,000gns; unraced over this far but pedigree a mix of speed and stamina.
Made all in a 1m AW maiden when hooded for the first time and was a closing second on handicap debut at Brighton (7f, good to firm); only four ran last time but probably needs this trip and clearly on a competitive mark.
Reappeared with a third of ten behind a progressive winner in a 7f maiden at Thirsk (good); looks open to improvement on handicap debut and the dam won over middle distances.
Posted similar RPRs in three runs last season from 5f to 1m; bred to be a lot better than this mark (bought for 360,000euros as a yearling) and well worth checking in the market.
