J: Rossa Ryan

T: Grace Harris

First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again.

Beaten just over a length into third of six behind Kodi Fire over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago; didn't enjoy a clear run there and now 5lb better off, but her modest strike-rate is a concern.

8lb better off with Dappled Light for a half-length defeat at Bath (1m, good to firm) in May; won a small-field handicap back at Bath four days later but two runs in Class 5 events since haven't been so good; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer.

Scored at Bath (1m, firm) on stable debut in May and has remained in pretty good form since; still on a workable mark; ought to be on the premises.

Landed her first win on turf at Bath (1m, firm) in May on her stable debut; ran well in two runs back there since but looks vulnerable off 3lb higher.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 65

Form & Verdict
For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade.

J: Olivia Tubb

Goodwood/Lingfield winner who's been running well all summer without looking to have anything in hand off this mark, latterly when splitting a couple of subsequent winners over C&D early last month; looks set to go well again.

Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground.

J: Paddy Bradley

Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question.

Form & Verdict
Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground.

Two of his three wins have come here (9.5f/7f), the latest in March; ran with credit when fourth of ten at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last time and he makes the shortlist.

Turf and dual Tapeta winner who justified favouritism with a narrow success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he flopped at Bath (1m, firm) last time and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat.
