3 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Clearcut winner of her maiden on the AW (Tapeta) and wasn't far away on her handicap debut at Kempton (Polytrack); her freegoing tendencies held her back at Chelmsford last time and may do so again unless settling better in the first-time hood; while that's feasible, she was below par on sole turf start.

Hold-up mare who hasn't found her best form yet this season; slipping down the weights and she's likely to come good again soon, albeit her record suggests that might be on AW.

Quirky sort but she scored twice last term and wasn't seen to ideal effect from a wide draw when tenth of 22 in 7f York handicap last month; not out of things off a 2lb lower mark, especially if starting better.

Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere.

3 yo Filly

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
A progressive filly who has won her last three, all 6f handicaps against her own sex; seemingly doing just enough in her races has seen her go up only 6lb in the process and another good run looks on the cards.

Completed a 6f hat-trick on turf in the summer; unlikely she's handicapped out of things and 7f might have stretched her stamina here last time; one of the likelier ones returned to this distance.

Completed a 6f hat-trick on fast turf this summer (all in fillies' handicaps); ran well against males in her bid for a four-timer at Leicester in August but her form dipped on slower ground five weeks ago (Class 3); unlikely she's handicapped out of things but her stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.

J: Callum Shepherd

Enjoying a fine season and completed a hat-trick when scoring at Lingfield in July; edged out only late on when runner-up at Leicester (6f, again on good to firm) since, so she's a player nudged up just 1lb.

3 yo Filly

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Just three runs for this yard (all at 7f), winning her maiden at Wolverhampton and then highly tried at Listed level; ran better back in a handicap at Catterick and dropping back 6f could work for her; wore cheekpieces the last twice.

Returned with 7f Wolverhampton maiden victory and she has held her form well since, solid third of six in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; possibilities off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Nabbed on the line here over 7f (good to firm) and ran to a similar level back over 6f at Newmarket (good); that all amounts to a solid start in handicaps and it's hard to envisage her not having some say once more.
