9st 3lb

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Jim Boyle

Campaigned mostly on AW this season; has failed to repeat the form of her July success; has done most of her winning on turf but is well exposed, unlike some of today's rivals; the oldest contender.

J: Olivia Haines

T: Jim Boyle

Her Kempton success (1m3f, Polytrack) in July came in a race run at a crawl; still 3lb higher and out of the frame in three starts since; others preferred.

Winner off 3lb lower here last month (1m3f); firmly put in her place at Lingfield since, including by a load of 3yos latest.

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Jim Boyle

Returned to winning form in a slowly run apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month and probably didn't stay 1m5f here five days later; new mark has now kicked in and she looks vulnerable to younger legs.

9st 5lb

J: Alfie Redman

T: Jim Boyle

Her first four wins were on turf but she made the breakthrough on AW when finishing well to land an apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f) last Wednesday; now steps back up in trip but she beat an odds-on rival last time and escapes a penalty for that success; dangerous.

9/2
