Verdict
A weak looking maiden that may go the way of High Cane, with Darn Good and Springalong selected as her main rivals. Formally with Jeremy Noseda, High Cane is now with Micky Hammond and this daughter of Diesis has shown tremendous promise in four maidens on the turf to suggest she is the one to beat here. Her best performance came at Haydock in September when a close up third behind Bint Alhaarth and a repeat of that effort should be good enough against these rivals. Darn Good has yet to show his true form on the all-weather but if running up to his Goodwood form in August when third in a class C handicap he should be in the shake up. Springalong has the best recent Lingfield form so merits plenty of respect, however we will take a chance that High Cane will act on the Polytrack and she is given the vote.
