The step up in distance can help Charade reverse her debut form with Isle De Maurice and she is the preferred option in a wide open maiden. Others to monitor include: Emma Lilly, who ran very green on her own debut but is entitled to have come on for the run, whereas Hugs Destiny, is another that tackles a more appropriate trip and, as he races in the same colours as his half-brother, Ebor winner Hugs Dancer, he is one to watch whatever happens today. Sceenplay has been expensive to follow and, like Marsh Orchid, is exposed. Therefore, it can pay to stick with potential this afternoon and, as Charade did not enjoy the cleanest of passages when finishing just over two lengths behind Isle de Maurice here a fortnight ago, Matthew Henry is expected to help her make the most of her fillies allowance this time around.
