Form & Verdict
Readily won back to back last July (made all) and went down by a head in October (all 1m2f on turf); much more like it when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Salisbury 13 days ago, finding just an Andrew Balding 3yo too strong; will need to settle better if she's to see this trip out best.

Front-runner who's well suited by a stiff 1m2f, winning twice last summer and going close over C&D in the autumn off tonight's mark; soon gave way once headed on her recent AW comeback from eight months off and needs to improve a lot on that.

Form & Verdict
Improver in novice/maiden company, culminating in a win at Lingfield (1m2f); plugged on into third when kept to that trip for handicap debut then looked stretched by an extended 1m5f; yard among the winners but others appeal more.

Unexposed 4yo; won a 1m2f maiden on AW last September; weak in the betting prior to her seasonal/handicap debut here (1m2f, good to firm) last month, a race where she plugged on for third; stepping up in trip could unlock more from her but it will need to.

Improved with each of her three runs as a 3yo, getting off the mark when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) last September; unexposed but she is conceding race fitness to her rivals and this may not be her day.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up sole start at two; much her best effort when stepped up to 1m4f here a fortnight ago (again found just one too good); potential improver now handicapping and William Buick, who is 22% for the yard in the last five years, is a positive booking.

Promising second on her debut at Yarmouth last October and reappeared with an 8l fifth of ten at Sandown (1m2f, good) in a race won by the subsequent Musidora runner-up; ran to a similar level when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, soft) in May when last seen and leaves the impression this longer trip will suit.

Returned to winning form in a slowly run apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month and probably didn't stay 1m5f here five days later; new mark has now kicked in and she looks vulnerable to younger legs.

Her first four wins were on turf but she made the breakthrough on AW when finishing well to land an apprentice handicap at Kempton (1m3f) last Wednesday; now steps back up in trip but she beat an odds-on rival last time and escapes a penalty for that success; dangerous.

Betting Forcast

10/1 Gloryous, 9/1 Aphrodite Spirit, 5/2 Ladykirk, 13/2 Bint Kilfrush, 20/1 Big Bear Hug, 7/2 Bintknight, 16/1 Affection, 11/2 Seacole

Verdict

This 0-80 handicap, which thankfully is open to fillies and mares rated 81 and 82, looks a good opportunity for LADYKIRK (nap) to open her account. She saw this trip out well when finding just one too good in novice company here a fortnight ago. Bint Kilfrush and Bintknight head the dangers.[Andrew Cooper]
