ANALYSIS: A competitive fillies' handicap, featuring seven seasonal debutantes, which was run at a sound pace. The form appears sound and should work out.

BONNE DE FLEUR, last seen running below par on her seasonal bow over further at this venue in February, took full advantage of her favourable draw and got back to winning ways, landing a gamble in the process.

She lost her way last season after taking a Listed event at Ripon in April, but had slipped back to a favourable mark as a result, and the manner of her success suggests she can win again over this trip despite an inevitable rise in the weights.

Mecca's Mate, having her first taste of the all-weather from 4lb out of the handicap, never looked a serious threat to the winner, but kept to her task gamely under pressure and made a pleasing return to action. She should improve for the outing, looks best over this trip and should soon be going one better.

Wunderbra, returning from a 189-day break, had her chance and paid late on for running freely through the early stages. She looks to have retained her ability and can be placed to strike again over this trip before too long.

Karminskey Park, another making her seasonal reappearance, stuck to her task under pressure and ran with credit from 7lb out of the handicap. She should find easier opportunities off this sort of mark.
