Verdict

Not a race to be going overboard about. HALCON has been off for 8 weeks but still looks the percentage call following her debut third at Ripon. Forest Berry is capable of running a big race if she settles, while Pon Pon Dalia may show more second time up.

4	Benefitted from a brisk gallop to aim at when beaten less than 2 lengths into third on debut at Ripon (6f, 80/1). Yard isn't renowned for its precocious juveniles, so she's entitled to improve for that run. The one to beat provided all is well following 8 weeks off. 1st Pick 4 Halcon Jockey: S. B.

3	Free-going sort. Runner-up twice in 6f Chepstow maidens. Paid the price for her overexuberance when beaten just over 4 lengths at Doncaster (6.5f) latest. Entitled to confirm form with those she beat and claims if proving more tractable back around a bend with a hood fitted. 2nd Pick 3 Forest Berry Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt J: Luke Morris T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt	99	-	-	-	25%	3/1

6	Showed a bit when 6¼ lengths fifth (behind Forest Berry) on debut at Doncaster (6.5f). May build on that second time up for in-form yard. 3rd Pick 6 Pon Pon Dalia (Ire) Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Marco Botti J: Marco Ghiani T: Marco Botti	86	-	-	-	15%	6/1
