Timeform run the rule over a ten-furlong fillies' handicap at Nottingham...

...Al Jabreiah won well at Wolverhampton last month and should have even more improvement in her at this trip.

Eluding showed similar form when placed in 3 maidens in October/November, beaten at odds-on at Wolverhampton when last seen. Not impossibly treated on handicap debut and step up in trip should suit.

Dulkashe was a €120,000 yearling who put in an eye-catching effort on introduction at Salisbury (7f) in September. Improved on both subsequent runs and any further progress for longer trip will see her go close.

Corsetry is a half-sister to Oaks winner Light Shift and Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Shiva. Definite signs of ability in maidens but hasn't been let in lightly on handicap debut. May still improve, though.

Rhythmic landed a 1m Doncaster maiden on second start for Godolphin at 2 yrs. Respectable effort on return/debut for new yard on AW at Lingfield in February, but didn't build on it 3 weeks ago.

Petaluma improved on her debut effort at Newbury last July when fourth of 14 in 1m event there on return. Out of her depth in listed event last time and potential for better back at more realistic level.

Al Jabreiah has won 2 of 4 starts to date, taking form up another notch when staying on well to land 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap last month. This longer trip promises to suit (dam won over 1½m) and more to come.

Shannon Spree left her maiden form behind when switched to nurseries last year, winning at Kempton in August. Ran respectable race at Salisbury on reappearance but looks in the handicapper's grip for now.

Findeln shaped as if in need of the experience in 2 AW maidens in March. Better effort on turf debut last time but looks on a tough enough mark now switched to handicaps.

Symphony Star showed promise in 7f maiden at Newmarket on debut, but unable to build on that with her sights set on bigger prizes afterwards. Well backed on seasonal reappearance but failed to improve. Trip a concern.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Al Jabreiah
2. Eluding
3. Dulkashe

Timeform View: Eluding and Dulkashe are both interesting handicap debutantes, but Al Jabreiah won well at Wolverhampton last month and should have even more improvement in her at this trip.
