Naughty Thoughts is the selection in what is a wide open fillies handicap. Tom Dascombe's filly has been a model of consistency winning on no-less than four occasions since the turn of the year. The most recent of those four victories was two starts back when scoring at Doncaster while last time she finished third, when possibly given too much to do. Handicap debutant has an additional three furlongs to race over today than the mile over which she has been campaigned on her first three outings. A mark of 62 is not harsh and she should be thereabouts given normal improvement. Granary Girl has received a 7lb rise for an easy victory at Folkestone last time. That new mark of 54 puts her close to her highest career mark. Shenandoah Girl would probably prefer more of an ease in the ground while Jemiliah landed her first victory at Salisbury over a mile last time in what was a very moderate apprentice handicap. Naughty Thoughts is selected to land it.
