Verdict

Caturra Lights showed promise prior to his excusable effort last time and is fancied to come out on top in what looks a trappy nursery. Last-time-out winners Call Nicki and Tango Hotel look the chief threats.

1	Showed plenty of promise when placed in maidens at Musselburgh and Chester on his first 2 starts. Had the worst of the draw when down the field in a novice at the latter track last time and can be expected to fare better now tackling a nursery. 1st Pick 1 Caturra Lights Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Jack Nicholls T: Adrian Keatley	100	-	-	-	36%	Scratched

3	In the frame on all 4 starts prior to putting that experience to good use when landing a 7-runner C&D maiden last month, beating Bellatina by 2¼ lengths. The runner-up went close in a nursery off a mark of 65 next time, so she must be respected now tackling one herself. 2nd Pick 3 Call Nicki (Ire) Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	96	-	-	-	63%

2	Showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when landing a 5-runner soft-ground maiden at Ffos Las by 2¼ lengths from Defiant Dream. She faces very different conditions now tackling a nursery and needs to prove herself at least as effective away from soft going. 3rd Pick 2 Tango Hotel Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: George Scott J: Daniel Tudhope T: George Scott	98	-	-	-	56%
