None can be ruled out in a trappy little maiden with just 5lb separating the entire field on official ratings. Blue Moon Rising has suggested there's more in the locker whilst Cancan Katy has yet to rediscover the form shown on her second juvenile outing and Natural Wonder is another yet to find her best this term. Compas Scoobie and Prying Pandora house similarly consistent profiles with the latter preferred here of the pair but HILLSIDE DREAM has plenty of experience to call upon, has performed with credit in better races as a juvenile and ran well in a decent Yarmouth handicap last time. She also has form on soft ground and should go close.
