The standout on form in this field — she ran second on her only race at Musselburgh 17 days ago, and crucially that form has already been backed up by the horses around her that day, giving it real credibility. She's the only horse here who has already shown she can mix it at this level, making her the most straightforward case in the race. The editorial verdict singles her out as the likeliest winner, and the evidence supports that view.
Another first-timer with no race experience to speak of, so everything comes down to potential rather than proven ability. She races from a mid-draw in a group where several rivals already have race experience under their belts, which could count against her. One for the notebook rather than the betting slip.
Two races in and she's already shown a promising upward curve — a poor eighth on debut was followed by a second-place finish, beaten less than a length, which suggests she's improving quickly. However, both her races came on different ground conditions to what she faces today, so normal conditions are an unknown factor. She's the second most experienced runner with actual placed form, and worth respecting at 5.5.

Finished fourth on her only race, so she has at least shown she can be competitive without quite getting into the places. She races from a mid-draw and is trained by Tim Easterby, who also saddles Fern Clyde and Lairy Mary today — giving that yard three shots at the prize. At 19.0, she's one of the longer-priced horses with actual race experience.
Never raced before, so there's no form to lean on — she's a blank slate like several others in this field. She races from the lowest draw in the race, though the draw bias data here shows low numbers win only around 1 in 12 races at this course and distance. A debut runner from a small trainer-jockey combination with limited shared experience.
A complete unknown stepping onto a racecourse for the first time — there is simply no form to judge her by. Her odds have drifted dramatically, suggesting the market isn't expecting a debut winner. Worth watching how she handles the experience, but punters are largely guessing.
Her two-race record tells a mixed story — a distant tenth on debut was followed by a third-place finish, beaten three and a half lengths, which at least shows some improvement. Like stablemates Fern Clyde and Call Nicki, she's trained by Tim Easterby, meaning the yard has three horses trying to beat each other here. She also hasn't yet raced on normal conditions, adding a small question mark over how she'll handle today's surface.

Making her racecourse debut from the highest draw in the field — draw data at this course and distance shows high numbers win only around 1 in 14 races, the worst position in the race. There's no form to assess, no previous experience to draw on, and the combination of an unfavourable draw and a first-time debut makes her a significant outsider at 23.0. One to watch for the future rather than today.
Two races, two mid-field finishes, beaten well over ten lengths in both — the form so far doesn't make a compelling case. She's been fitted with cheekpieces today, a piece of headgear designed to sharpen a horse's focus, suggesting her trainer is trying to find a way to get more out of her. At 51.0, the market clearly isn't convinced that change will be enough.
Never raced before and comes from a jockey-trainer pairing that have never worked together previously, which gives very little to go on. At 29.0, the market is firmly in the 'wait and see' camp with this one. Her breeding — by Invincible Army out of a Kyllachy mare — suggests speed, but that counts for little until she shows it on a track.
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
