Most of these are unexposed fillies that could well have plenty of improvement in them and what can only be a tentative vote goes to Linnet, who is preferred to Miss Particular and Perfect Tone. The selection still looked green when landing her Warwick maiden and lost no caste in defeat on her first attempt in a handicap against older horses at Pontefract last time. There should be more to come from Amanda Perrett's daughter of Dr Fong and she gets the vote. The Michael Jarvis-trained Sand Fairy has run well off similar marks in her last two starts and can again be expected to be thereabouts but may once more have to settle for a minor role and of more interest may be Miss Particular, who won her maiden in good fashion and does not look to be particularly harshly treated for her debut in this grade. The William Haggas-trained Accomplish did not beat a great deal to win her maiden and could be anything, while Bouquet is just to type to improve no that she goes into a handicap. Luca Cumani's Zalimar has a nice racing weight and is another to consider along with top weight Perfect Tone but the vote goes to Linnet, who looks progressive and is taken to give the Perrett stable another winner.
