The most appealing of these is VARSHINI, who built on the promise she showed on debut when landing a big-field Gowran maiden in good style and she should have plenty more to offer. Murkala has been hammered by the handicapper for her victory here earlier this month, but she is open to improvement and rates the main danger ahead of Shiota, while Empress Artemis is also worth a second look.

    Verdict
    7/2, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at this course (7f, good) 20 days ago. 14 lb rise in the weights will ask a serious question of her, but she's from a smart family and may well have more to offer.

    Verdict
    Promising type. 15/8, won 16-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 32 days ago, well on top finish. Likely there is better to come now upped to a mile for this handicap debut and she's a key player.

    Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (33/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. 7 lb rise fair enough and she should have a part to play.

    Verdict
    Twice-raced winner. Fourth of 11 in minor event at Dundalk (8f, 5/2) when last seen in December. Improvement needed, but she's unexposed and is very much of interest on this handicap/turf debut for her new yard.

    Verdict
    Three lengths second of 9 to Nicoreni in a Group 3 contest at Baden-Baden (8f, soft) when last seen during the autumn. First run for yard after leaving Christopher Head and mark for this handicap debut looks stiff.
