J: Robbie Downey

Hooded all starts; dead-heated in her sole outing as a 2yo and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, firstly at Sandown (1m, good) and then at Nottingham (1m, good to firm); dam won on the AW and she should stay this far, but she has gone up another 4lb which isn't ideal.

9st 4lb

J: Ray Dawson

T: Roger Varian

Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.

J: Callum Rodriguez

Made a winning start in handicaps over 1m here in May and doubled her tally at Beverley (8.5f) in July; posted a solid third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; very much one to consider with this slightly longer trip a likely plus.

Gained a first win in 1m handicap at Hamilton in May and backed it up with a solid third of six in similar event there 17 days ago; this Palace Pier filly can go well again off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed when sent off favourite for her stable debut/reappearance at Newmarket (7f. good; first-time hood) last month, but made no mistake at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago; 3lb higher and meets some less exposed rivals, though the sole 4yo beat four 3yos in this race last year.

Hasn't been with Marco Botti for long and she got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in July; only 2lb higher here, but she's not easy to predict and was only fourth of five at Nottingham last time; risks attached.

Sole win came in novice at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in November and she ran well on her handicap debut at Newcastle (AW) next time; strong in the market on her stable debut at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time hood) 13 days ago but proved disappointing; steps back up in trip and it will be interesting to see if her supporters return.
