OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Prescott filly who has been absent since making all in Newcastle novice event (1m, AW) on final 2yo start, beating a useful rival who currently has a mark of 102; the type to progress further and do well in handicaps; very interesting off an opening mark of 75, especially if the market speaks positively.

Generally progressive 3yo who has won three of her last five starts including a comfortable success over C&D (7-4 joint-favourite) 19 days ago; 4lb higher here but she still looks on a workable mark and could continue on the upgrade; major player.

Won an AW novice last November and made a winning reappearance on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in June; went close at Ascot next time but she needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) 41 days ago; drops back in trip.

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Novice winner at two; always doing enough for a successful handicap debut at Salisbury and then denied late on at Ascot (again at 1m on good to firm), where she dictated a steady pace; had no excuses that day but this longer trip should help, as she's out of a 1m4f winner.

Form & Verdict
Has shown most of her form over 7f, including AW maiden success as a 2yo and good second at Chepstow (soft) most recently; may be effective back up in trip, provided she settles (sometimes takes a good hold).

Acts on good to firm and soft; added to her AW win last summer when scoring over C&D in July and she gave it a good shot from the front when third at Salisbury (6f) last week; looks fairly exposed after 13 starts but she should be in the mix again.

Runner-up twice in a row in June (7f/1m, soft/good to firm; including here) before winning at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; down the field at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when pulling hard but it's possible today's first attempt at 6f will be a good move.

7f AW win as a 2yo; on the up in handicaps this summer, keeping on well to beat five rivals at Sandown (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; 4lb higher in a stronger race but Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time and he has a good record for the stable.

Step forward when keeping on at one pace in first handicap, on Lingfield AW (1m) in January; off the track and gelded after but he came home with a wet sail when a close third of six at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; looks well worth a go at 1m2f; respected.

Form & Verdict
Beat only two rivals at Bath (1m, firm) to open his account at the ninth attempt; however, may build on that success and do better still, in keeping with his pedigree (from a family that has served his connections well); shortlisted.
