Billy Allen looks the answer to a tricky nursery event in which Tranquil Sky, Morse and Park Ave Princess are the others to consider. Richard Hannon's charge has shown improved form for the step up to this trip and was a ready winner of a maiden event over this course and distance last time. The son of Night Shift doesn't appear over burdened for his handicap debut and is taken to concede weight all round under Dane O'Neill. Tranquil Sky came late to land a six-furlong maiden at Goodwood and showed she is progressing along the right lines when a close third in a minor event at Ascot over the same trip last time out. The extra furlong should be in her favour and she will prove a big threat while Morse was understandably outclassed in a Listed event at Epsom on Derby day last time but has claims on previous back-to-back wins at Nottingham and Windsor. Park Ave Princess landed a Musselburgh maiden last time but that was a weak affair and she had little to spare at the finish so she may struggle to contain Billy Allen in an interesting heat.
