Catchment showed some progress when sixth in a tougher maiden at Newbury last time and is preferred to the newcomer Aksum, who sports the same colours. Black Bess also finished closer when third at Windsor though the first two home have been beaten since so a chance is taken on the newcomer ESCALATE. Related to a couple of Listed winners, Jeremy Noseda's filly may well be good enough at the first time of asking. Majestic Girl is another debutante to note while Veena and Sea Of Hope are likely improvers.
