Swan Wings will have learned plenty from her debut and may be capable of taking this, but she is unlikely to represent any value and we will give the nod to debutant FULL MANDATE, while fellow newcomer Forest Crown could go well. The Richard Hannon-trained selection is related to plenty of winning stock over sprint trips and so this minimum distance should be ideal for starters. The yard is in cracking form and is famed for it's precocious two-year-olds, so we hope that this Acclamation filly can score on debut. Swan Wings did nothing wrong when runner-up to Nosedive in a recent Sandown maiden, weakening close to home, and she may well be good enough here but at the likely prices we will take her on. Forest Crown is another well-related newcomer by Royal Applause, although pedigree suggests that she will shape much better when given a test of stamina. Filwa is the only other runner to have seen public action and Brian Meehan's filly can come on plenty for her Bath debut. Lenkiewicz should also be better when tried over further and for today we'll side with Full Mandate.
