WEETLES has gone the closest so far when beaten less than two lengths at Goodwood in June. She gets a tentative vote in an uninspiring maiden race. The Salmon Man made a decent start at Salisbury only to go backwards on the all-weather last time while Malta Badia has had plenty of chances in France and has her first start for a new yard. Nine Tenths is a likely improver and China Girl is preferred to Thai Noon of the newcomers.
