Form & Verdict
20,000euros foal, £40,000 yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Wejdan (5.5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 102) and It Just Takes Time (5f-7.4f including 2yo; 100); dam 6f/7f winner, half-sister to winners Wassiljew (Listed-placed 7.5f-1m4f) and Whiteout (useful 2m-2m3f hurdle); quite a lot to like on pedigree and yard is 15% with juveniles this season.

Layla Liz

9st 6lb

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Archie Watson

First low-key effort when last of ten in a Class 3 handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) in April; won't mind if it rains but she will need a clear personal best to trouble the principals.

Successful at Leicester on 2yo debut and solid record (2121) on Wolverhampton AW since, making all to beat Nad Alshiba Green on reappearance (5f) most recently; progressive filly who warrants respect.

J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

Progressive front-runner in sprint novices as 2yo, winning two from three; lost nothing in defeat on handicap debut over C&D last February when giving best to one ahead of his mark and, despite the absence since, she may well give a bold show off the same mark.

Second foal; half-sister to 6f AW winner Runaround Sioux (RPR 74); dam 6f 2yo winner (80), half-sister to winners Sunday Sovereign (useful 5f-6f including 2yo) and Red Alert (prolific 5.7f-7f); yard 16% with 2yos here in recent years and market should guide on debut.

J: George Wood

Cheekpieces had a positive early impact during a good spell for her yard last month but she's been below par as favourite the past twice; much will depend on the effect of a new form of headgear.

J: Jake Dickson

T: Rod Millman

Back in form, following her Salisbury win (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) with an unlucky second here and she wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth last time; mark hasn't really gone anywhere so should be on the scene once more.

Be An Angel

9st 2lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Rod Millman

Resurgent 4yo who won an apprentice handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago and she didn't get much luck when a close second at Chepstow last Wednesday; 2lb higher here but she remains well treated on old form and is strongly respected.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Well-held fourth of five on Haydock debut (6f, good) in July but she left that form behind when a staying-on second behind an odds-on rival at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; sets a fair standard on that form and she's a major player if she copes with this drop back in trip.

One piece of worthwhile form in nine starts since joining this yard, but is now 0-27, comfortably passed over; stable also runs Royal Justice.

Yet to register a win after 26 outings; got right back on track with third of nine in 6f Ffos Las handicap 17 days ago, though, so needs considering.

Longstanding maiden who's overall continued to regress this year, mainly over 7f; has been offering a bit more again of late, without having the breaks, but others look stronger.

Fourth foal; half-sister to winners Rhossili Down (6f AW; RPR 82) and Exuding (6f; 78); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (93), half-sister to German 1m Group 3 and 1m3f Listed winner Turning Light, out of German 7f winner/German 1,000 Guineas third; one of two newcomers for Archie Watson and the market should be informative.

Runner-up in 5f AW maiden on seasonal debut in March but all three subsequent handicap runs (5f-6f) have been underwhelming; tried cheekpieces last time; blinkers given a whirl here; needs to up her game.

Form & Verdict
Out of a Listed winner who has produced a Listed AW winner; 6l third in both her runs but she ran into a useful prospect at Southwell ten days ago and that was after a break; has something to find with My Mate Beattie on this return to turf but stayed on well last time and is open to more progress; in the mix.

Well ridden by Robert Havlin (he got her handy from a wide draw) to record breakthrough success at Chelmsford this month (7f); is well berthed on this occasion and a 3lb rise could be shrugged off.

In the frame in seven of her nine starts, as when beaten a length into fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month (runner-up has won since); return to this trip should suit and, despite her wide draw, she holds each-way claims again.
