Just her fifth outing so still early days; a previous winner here; found life tough when 10l back in tenth at Kenilworth over 1m (Class 4) last month; winner of a maiden plate two starts ago so too soon to write her off; is capable of making an impact.

String of consistent efforts of late; turned in a solid effort in defeat two weeks ago, when second at Kenilworth upped to 1m4½f; rates a likely contender if building on last performance.

Verdict

An open affair - Mela Strength is one that needs plenty of respect while Tothemoonandback has clocked up some good efforts. However, AMERICAN BEAUTY is put forward as the selection. She should be forgiven a disappointing latest run and is going for her second course success.
