Minley started favourite for a Nottingham nursery three weeks ago but was easily brushed aside and seems to lack an extra gear. Le Laitier ran in a maiden on the same card but didn't appear to get home over the extra furlong and that has to be a worry here. GOADBY ran her best race so far when third at Carlisle last month. With her fillies' allowance, she may just be good enough in this as Walta showed little on debut.
