Won a maiden at Pontefract last time by half a length, applying herself well throughout on a stiff track — a leading trainer sends her here under a penalty wearing first-time headgear. Effective over 6f on good ground, though the extra weight may expose the narrow margin of that debut success.

Strong Saturday Rating of 156, improving form figures of 6431, and competitive 5/2 odds justify confident each-way consideration at 9-6.
Well beaten in her only start so far, but this middle-distance bred filly has more than enough pedigree to suggest a longer trip will help; plenty needed to get into contention here and yet to get off the mark.

Cousin Rachel's 141 Saturday Rating shows ability, but 14/1 odds and a single form figure of 8 suggest limited market confidence.
Forced to switch at a crucial point on debut, finishing third beaten three lengths — the form from that outing reads encouragingly and she is expected to progress for a top yard, bred to be at her best over longer distances; yet to win but the opening run was sufficiently promising to make her the one to beat.

Sole form figure of 3rd, combined with even-money odds and a Saturday Rating of 135, suggests limited upside despite market confidence.
Showed some greenness under pressure on debut, finishing third beaten five and a half lengths — should come on for that initial experience and is effective over 6f on good ground; the connections' stable landed this race last year, though she remains yet to score.

Fern Clyde (SR 156, 5/2) holds the highest rating in the field and is the only runner with meaningful experience — four runs versus the one-run records of the others. Her form string of 6431 shows clear improvement run-on-run, culminating in a win last time out, and that trajectory on Good ground over a staying 7f trip at Beverley is exactly what this race demands. She carries 4lb more than the others at 9-6 but her SR edge of 2 over Little Lady Karen (SR 154) more than compensates. The market has her at 5/2 reflecting a genuine case, not a default favourite — a recent winner showing progressive form at this trip is the standout.
Each-way alternative: Little Lady Karen.
Main danger: Little Lady Karen — Little Lady Karen (SR 154, 7/2) is only 2 points below Fern Clyde and carries 4lb less at 9-2 — that weight concession on Good ground over a stamina-testing 7f-plus trip could close the gap, and K R Burke placing a debutant third suggests she is ready to improve sharply second time out.
