Verdict

HAUTELUCE broke her maiden in a taking manner at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and is presented with a good chance of following up. Staying in novice company means the Ed Walker-trained filly picks up a 7lb penalty, which gives Guesstimate and Celestial Cen feasible chances of overhauling the selection at the weights. The newcomer Sax Avoidance and once-raced Sweet Horizon both run with headgear added and the betting can guide where they are concerned.

Top Tip: Hauteluce (1)
Watch out for: Guesstimate (3)

The form of Hauteluce's maiden win has been boosted so she is respected under a penalty but she may struggle to give weight to GUESSTIMATE. The selection brings in an experience edge and sets the form standard on her spring novice efforts. Celestial Cen needs to prove her effectiveness on this quicker surface but she will also be thereabouts if doing so.
