Form & Verdict
0-18 but she bounced back with a near-miss in new headgear at Brighton (5.3f handicap) ten days ago; has leading claims if she can repeat that form and she seems fairly versatile ground-wise.

Dreambird Dolly

9st 8lb

J: Liam Wright

T: John Gallagher

Got off the mark when landing a classified at Leicester (5f, good) in June; although she has gone close in handicaps on several occasions, she has not been able to land such a contest and doesn't therefore appeal for win purposes.

Front-runner who's barely put a foot wrong since the blinkers went on; has gone close a couple of times over C&D in the past and is one for the shortlist under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: John Gallagher

Has a record of 2102 since wearing blinkers, the success in Leicester classified contest (maiden previously); just over 1l behind Dottie Diamond there last Tuesday and now gets a 5lb pull with that opponent, who admittedly is open to further improvement; important contender.

Struggled at massive prices in maiden/novice events and latest was on her reappearance here (7f, good to firm) last month; still early days and now drops into a classified contest but she needs a transformation back in trip.

Bridgets Baby

9st 8lb

J: Molly Gunn

T: Tony Carroll

The form of her Lingfield win (5f, good) in June is modest and a 5lb rise looks stiff enough on the face of it; that said, she's still completely unexposed and in this field that's enough for her to command considerable respect now switched to AW.

20-race maiden who has finished down the field in her three runs (5f-7f) this season; cheekpieces are now added but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred.

Dottie Diamond

9st 7lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: William Stone

Off 19 months before this season; her second race back (seventh attempt overall) was her best when off the mark at 25-1 in a classified at Southwell (5f, AW) and in quite taking style too, so she needs a second look despite her handicap mark having been revised upwards in a major way.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when justifying favouritism in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, AW) in March; held in fourth in a classified event there last Monday but that was a creditable effort from a wide draw; now returns to turf but he's unexposed in this sphere and is a big player if he can run near his best.
