Verdict
Shackled N Drawn landed a maiden at Lingfield but didn't appear to improve in a Wolverhampton nursery earlier this month. MIDDLE EAST PEARL showed very good speed on her debut over 6f here so it was a surprise that she started 12/1 six weeks later at Wolverhampton where she won convincingly over this trip. With further progress likely, she can complete a double in this tight little nursery. Wedlock has an almost identical profile, though her victory was gained at Lingfield, so she has to be a threat. Most Tempting didn't show much in maidens but has finished close up in all three starts in nurseries but One Moment has struggled since a promising opening run here in May.
