Abbeys Dream

9st 8lb

J: Joshua Bryan

T: Archie Watson

Handy sort who won twice over C&D early last year and added another success at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in September; third of eight behind a thriving rival at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 13 days ago showed that she remains in form and a player from 1lb lower.

Abbeys Dream

9st 8lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton (7f) in September; four of her five subsequent runs have been solid enough but she remains 3lb above that successful mark; first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to give her something extra.

Form & Verdict
On a roll this year, winning four 7f handicaps in her last five starts (the defeat came over 1m); impressed when beating Evolicatt at Southwell nine days ago in what looked a well-contested event; effectively only 4lb higher today and she's a strong candidate once again.

Form & Verdict
Placed in 7f AW handicaps in four starts since her win in a Chelmsford claimer in December; 4lb better off with Comedian Leader for 2l on their recent clash; may have to make do with more minor money.

Evolicatt

8st 13lb

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: David Evans

Won a 6f maiden and two 7f claimers as a 2yo, and has made the frame in several AW handicaps this year (7f-8.6f); not at best on latest outing eight days ago and unraced on turf slower than good to soft but still needs to be taken very seriously in this grade.

Evolicatt

T: David Evans

Triple 6f-7f winner and reliable sort who ran well on first run over 1m last time at Southwell; extra yardage here to cover but she should give a good account.

Form & Verdict
Clear signs of promise in her three runs in novice/maiden company; unsuited by the drop to 5f at Wolverhampton last month but she moves into handicaps over further with some untapped potential.

Two 6f wins at Doncaster last summer (soft and good); not found her best in three runs this summer but won't mind rain and she drops in class with cheekpieces given a go; one to take seriously.

Dual Doncaster winner last spring, latterly off a 4lb higher mark; not in much form in two runs on turf, following five months off, and needs to bounce back.

Yet to improve for the switch to handicaps but he was well backed on his handicap debut (6f) and his latest 1m defeat was in a Class 3; still has time to do better.
