Verdict

TIORA TIME built on her debut effort when picking up well to score at Doncaster and, with further improvement to come, she can score again if taking up this engagement. Next best looks to be Tansy Lane, who also showed the benefit of her first run when not beaten far at Newmarket, ahead of Diplomata.

5	Has looked in need of the experience in 2 starts so far, though stepped forward from debut when 1¾ lengths seventh of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (6f) 5 weeks ago. Can make a bold bid with this longer trip promising to suit. 2nd Pick 5 Tansy Lane Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: James Owen J: Kieran Shoemark T: James Owen	100	-	-	-	67%

3	Some promise on debut, but after 10 weeks off she made no impression after a slow start when fifth of 6 in novice at Thirsk (7f) last month. Should stay this far and is in good hands, so she could be in the mix as she gains with experience. 3rd Pick 3 Diplomata Jockey: David Probert Trainer: William Haggas J: David Probert T: William Haggas	83	-	-	-	40%
