Furbelow is a well-bred filly who confirmed debut promise when winning 6f Kempton maiden in April, in control long way out. Hampered by a slipping saddle there on handicap bow, and that run best ignored.

Impel was gelded prior to recording an improved effort to get off mark in 6f Kempton handicap earlier this month. Has to prove he can back that up returned to turf but contender if he does.

Charitable Act won maiden at Kempton in 2011, but has a patchy profile overall and hasn't landed any sort of blow on either start this year. Easy enough to dismiss.

Solfilia improved with each run in 2011, breaking her duck in Nottingham nursery in July, and had a troubled run when fourth of 9 on return at Kempton in June (Furbelow behind). Should build on that.

Gung Ho Jack won maiden and nursery at 6f on turf last year, but has been a long way below form on both starts this year having been gelded. Plenty to prove at present.

Uprise belatedly got off the mark for Sir Michael Stoute when taking a 6f Doncaster maiden in June. Joined current yard for 45,000 gns recently, an interesting to see how he shapes up in market.

Dark Ages continued upward curve on first outing for new yard at Salisbury last month, completing hat-trick of 6f successes. Shaped as if still in top form last time, and should give another good account.

Orders From Rome ran a blinder when sixth in Super Sprint at Newbury last July, and finally broke his duck in 5f maiden at Southwell in May. Poor effort in a handicap last time, though, and opposable again.

Red Senor improved to win 5f Lingfield maiden in March and not discredited when fifth in turf handicaps next 2 starts. Progress has ground to a halt, however, and he needs some help from the assessor.

Jocasta Dawn won a heavy ground Yarmouth maiden on second start when dropped back to 5f and shaped very well when second in decent handicap at Sandown last time. Looks on a winning mark on that evidence.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Jocasta Dawn
2. Dark Ages
3. Solfilia

Timeform Verdict: Jocasta Dawn shaped very well behind a thriving sort on handicap bow, and looks leniently treated on that evidence. She should prove too strong for Dark Ages and Solfilia now.
