Verdict

CHERRINGHAM shaped with promise despite evident inexperience on debut and, with progress likely, gets the vote in an ordinary maiden. Blue Celestial sets the standard and looks the one most likely to capitalise should the selection fail to progress, while Sunshine And Roses also enters calculations if seeing out the longer trip.

3	Ulysses filly who was found wanting for know-how when fifth of 8 in maiden (13/2) at Lingfield (1¼m, heavy) on debut 3 weeks ago. Can do better for leading yard and she's a player in an ordinary maiden. 1st Pick 3 Cherringham Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ray Dawson T: Roger Varian	81	-	-	-	23%

8	Posted good placed efforts in pair of Kempton handicaps and bettered what she had achieved previously on turf when fourth at Nottingham (1m) 28 days ago.

11	Winless after 10 starts but placed 3 times on the all-weather last year. Offered little back on turf last time, though she should strip fitter for that outing and has claims if seeing out this longer trip, her dam’s side of the pedigree offering encouragement in that regard. 3rd Pick 11 Sunshine And Roses Jockey: Edward Greatrex Trainer: Jack Channon J: Edward Greatrex T: Jack Channon	92	-	-	-	7%
