Damelza boosted her claims for this race no end when she hacked up at Thirsk last month and rates as good value to find more in this company. Cheap N Chic and Ten To The Dozen are others that have to be respected, while John Keats and Niobe are others that have caught the eye and are worth bearing in mind. Niobe was well touted before she made a winning debut at Beverley last month and gave the impression that there is stacks more to come from her. The step up in trip should not be a problem and this daughter of Pivotal is high on the shortlist of alternatives. John Keats, typically for an inmate of John Gosden's, improved greatly for his first start to win his maiden in gritty fashion at Chepstow. He displayed good battling qualities on that occasion and will be capable of making the frame if in a similar mood. Ten To The Dozen had Hotham three quarters of a length behind when he was introduced at Salisbury a fortnight ago. However, the winner of that race did little for the form when finishing down the field here on Wednesday and it will take a canny ride from Kieren Fallon to get the son of Royal Applause home in front today. Cheap N Chic put in her best effort when she won well at Brighton last month. She is respected on that form and, with her stable going well, is another to monitor closely in the betting. However, Damelza is a strong looking filly that has plenty of scope about her. The manner of her facile victory at Thirsk dropped a significant hint that she has a bright future and, with a high draw very much in her favour, this 8,000gns purchase looks an ideal type for a race like this.
