Arctic Actress was a disappointing favourite on her debut at Bangor in February but is no doubt capable of better, though she still has plenty of improvement to find if she's to get the better of DAZZLING RITA here. Shaun Lycett's mare was also a beaten favourite on her debut but lost out by only a head and normal improvement can see her open her account. Cider Lolly and Empress Chang were both well beaten on their respective debuts and newcomer Lady Blythe makes more appeal as she's a sister to a couple of bumper winners.
