Hold-up performer always reliant on good fortune but she only narrowly missed out over C&D two weeks ago (good; fine on softer) and she has to enter the equation.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Rod Millman

Has done the majority of her racing on turf but 3-7 on AW; back to winning ways at Sandown (5f, soft) in September but she needs to rebound from a modest effort at Nottingham three weeks ago (lost action); this should be run to suit though and she's one for the shortlist.

Return to soft ground saw a revival in his fortunes when second of seven at Sandown 12 days ago (5f; cheekpieces first time); up 3lb still has lots of handicapping scope on 2023 best; return to 6f won't hurt either.

Has only raced over 6f (maiden winner on AW) but 5f might be the way to go as she only folded late on at Windsor after making the running; slow ground is an unknown but respected.

Prominent racer; 6f AW win as a 2yo; near miss at Windsor last month (6f, good to firm) and a lesser third at Sandown can be excused on account of 5f and soft ground; Billy Loughnane booked and she's one to consider.

Probably no coincidence that he's finished runner-up in his last six races as often flatters to deceive after travelling well, as was the case last time (eyeshield replaced cheekpieces); no headgear this time but he's tested the patience.

Record is just 1-20; has proved frustrating (form figures 22222) in cheekpieces this summer but could well go one better if this switch to an eyeshield has positive effect; either way, that recent consistency puts him in calculations.

Badly drawn and had been off for 401 days when behind Four Adaay here two weeks ago; soft-ground winner last summer and he's back to a similar mark; return of a tongue-tie is probably a good thing.

Below par the last twice and from stall two she could do with breaking better than on last month's handicap debut at Newmarket; however, she showed speed and promise in the spring on her first two starts (5f, AW/good to soft) and judged on that evidence she could be on a handy mark.
