Southwell Race 6 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Fillies' Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
DESERT SPRING (3) improved from her debut when third over 2000m at Leicester providing her first start of the season. Sure to progress and could go close. PYLEATES (6) made a satisfactory debut attempting 2400m at Kempton Park All Weather two-and-a-half weeks ago finishing fourth beaten 9L. Might progress and be thereabouts. MONTANA DANCER (4) failed to threaten debuting with a fourth tackling 2040m at Newcastle All Weather. May appreciate the step up in trip and warrant thought. SOVEREIGN APPLAUSE (7) returns from a break of five months. Needs more having offered nothing at Chester last time.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Newcastle All Weather on September 25 over 2040m, 15 len behind Mukhtalif carrying 58kg at $41. Likely improver with strong claims.
