Run nicely without getting his head in front in four starts on turf, should give a good account if taking to the AW in this on return from break.

Lightly raced, off the track since October and has made switch from Ballydoyle to current trainer. Likely there is more to come in time.

Has run two solid races on this surface to date, will be hoping for more pace on this time and is one of three for trainer in this contest.

Bit disappointing over 7f here a fortnight ago, has previously gone very close under this useful claimer however and worth another chance upped in trip.

Ran a good race over the mile at this track in October in a maiden, should improve on that now tackling handicaps.

Lightly raced maiden returns from a break and is one of three for trainer in this, bit to find on form but capable of improving.

Promising effort in handicap debut this venue last month over 7f, though leaves her with a bit to find on Sheisdiesel and Sweetasever.

Has run well enough in three maidens without screaming of an impending victory, can certainly do better in handicap first time.

Forecasts

Sweetasever (9/4), Sheisdiesel (4/1), Circus Ring (9/2), Hailstone (11/2), Steelyeyed (8/1), Tilly's Chilli (8/1), Epitaph (10/1), Annie Apple (20/1)

Verdict

Sweetasever should play a leading role again having perhaps not enjoyed the most luck in running when third last time out at this track. She might just struggle to overhaul old foe SHEISDIESEL however. A length separated them previously over 7f and while the selection has since run a disappointing race, she's reunited with a claimer for whom she'd run well on that occasion and can land this now tackling a mile for the first time. Tilly's Chilli and Hailstone are two for the shortlist with potential to improve now sent handicapping. 1. Sheisdiesel 2. Sweetasever 3. Tilly's Chilli
