Form & Verdict
Two improved efforts since moving into handicaps, finishing third at Doncaster in July and second at Carlisle last month (7f, good and good to soft); helped force a strong pace at Carlisle and she was only picked off late on so that run can be upgraded a touch; promise in one AW start; leading contender.

Reenies Dream

9st 5lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

Quirky maiden who has often shown a tendency to race too freely and who lost all chance when virtually refusing to race on penultimate start; did well to take fourth over C&D last month, but remains a risky option.

J: David Nolan

Shaped okay on a couple of occasions on turf (7f) last year before becoming frustrating, seemingly held back by a free-going nature; never better than midfield on recent Southwell (7f; 33-1) comeback; entitled to strip fitter and is easing in the weights.

His two runs for Sam England have been over 1m at this track and on both occasions he has shaped as though dropping to 7f might help; not fully exposed and he's more appealing than some.

Sole win from 21 starts came at Bath (1m, good) in April; bounced back from a poor effort when runner-up over this C&D last month and shaped as if still in good form at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leaving the impression the return to 1m would suit; chance.

Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though.
