Form & Verdict
0-6, her best effort when beaten a nose at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in July; wasn't in the same form back there under identical conditions last month but may be worth another chance on this return to AW.

Pipily

9st 4lb

J: Ray Dawson

Showed a bit on her third start at two and, after a quiet handicap debut in June, she was always front rank before being picked off late over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago; player up 3lb.

Pipily

J: Ray Dawson

Showed just modest form as a juvenile and she was beaten a fair way out on comeback in her first handicap, on Wolverhampton AW in first-time cheekpieces; upped to 1m2f with plenty to find.

Form & Verdict
Has progressed since stepping into handicaps, winning here (8.5f) in July and at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; she should have more to offer off 3lb higher and should be hard to beat.

Beat two subsequent winners off 4lb lower on the AW early last month and built on that on her second turf start last time, when coming home nicely for second in a race that didn't pan out her way; high on the shortlist.

9st 6lb

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: William Muir & Chris Grassick

In good form on the AW lately, getting off the mark at the seventh attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) this month; 4lb rise is fair enough, but she ran poorly in her only start on turf at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May which does leave her with questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
0-4 for William Haggas and sold to join new yard for 22,000gns in July; made winning AW/stable debut at Lingfield (1m) two weeks ago and may have further improvement now that she steps up in trip.

Perfect Ruler

9st 9lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Marco Botti

Didn't match up to market expectations in her first three starts for William Haggas, but ran better when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Redcar (7f, good) where she would have gone even closer with a clear run; makes her debut for her new yard after three months off having changed hands for 22,000gns last month; out of a Polytrack winner; watch market.

Both wins came over C&D in the winter; hasn't been in the same form since returning on turf last month but 2lb lower than her last winning mark so cannot dismiss.

Won twice on AW off higher marks over the winter; she has more to prove on turf but a big run wouldn't be a huge surprise.

Betting Forcast

5/1 Sterling Fortune, 10/1 Poor Relation, 9/1 Pipily, 50/1 Bun Bang Fai, 7/1 Khepri, 7/2 Midnight Media, 9/2 Perfect Ruler, 8/1 Melting Snow, 14/1 Magic Runner, 33/1 Miss Malone To You

Verdict

This may be best left to the two last-time-out winners with preference for MIDNIGHT MEDIA (nap) to bag his third win of the year. Second choice is Perfect Ruler who got off the mark last time and may have more to offer now that she steps up in trip. Others to consider include Pipily who was only beaten a nose two outings ago, while Sterling Fortune is also knocking on the door. [Andrew Bladen]
