WOODLANDS CHARM was sent off at 100/1 or more on four of her five starts before springing a 25/1 shock at Ripon this month when landing a Class 5 nursery. That is the only winning form on offer and Nigel Tinkler's filly should make a good fist of following up if delivering a similar performance level. Charming Wally looks dangerous though after showing much-improved form at Chelmsford last time on his handicap bow when a fair fourth and this looks an easier contest. Claim To Fame made a satisfactory debut at Thirsk in April but has not backed that promise up since, but does look well treated on this nursery debut if finding a return to form.
