LIBERTY ESS is put forwards in the hope that she can improve on her debut effort at Nottingham as she'll need to in order to get the better of Molly Mylenis and Roodee Queen. Welsh raider Molly Mylenis sets the standard here having made the frame in her first two career starts before finishing just out of the frame at Ripon on her first encounter with a quick surface. She should go well again but it may just be that she's more at home with a little cut in the ground so we'll take a chance with Liberty Ess who finished down the field at Nottingham on debut. The winner of that race went on to finish a close second in a well contested heat at Newbury to give the form a boost and, although she finished a long way down the field, the run was not without promise and it would be no surprise to see her improve sufficiently to take a hand in the finish. Roodee Queen is improving with experience which Kheya and Fast Shot may also be able to do whilst Immacolata is a half-sister to the useful Guto but we'll opt for Liberty Ess.
