5/4
Improving mare who has won from 2m-3m in the past year. With two pacemakers in the lineup her tactical versatility is a plus. Up 10lb following her latest romp but her main rivals have also shot up the weights. Rider has 12 wins (including five for this stable) in the last five seasons and stable are 4-8 here in the same period.

7/1
Went on a six race winning spree at this stage of last season and the way she dominated her rivals last time will raise expectations here. Doubtful she will be able to assert as much authority this time in a stronger field and with no assurances of an uncontested lead.

Off the track since storming home at Carlisle over a year ago. Her task was made easier when Mo Chailin came down two out. Potentially well treated on that effort and cheekpieces are tried. Not without a chance if fit and ready so worth a check in the market. Stable took this last year.

7/1
Has failed to progress from a promising start to her career when handled by Harry Fry. Current yard do well around here and she could be a more likely type now handicapping. Best form has been shown on better ground but another for whom a market move would stir up interest.

Showed more under a positive ride from today's pilot last time. Had the run of the race then and unlikely that will happen here. That was only her second run of the season and she should again finish ahead of Mo Chailin but more may be needed.

Verdict

MIDNIGHT SILVER has a lot going for her as she bids to follow up her recent Ffos Las success. She has the speed to win over 2m and can stay 3m too so with a strong pace likely she should have the race run to suit. Her stable do well here and she can continue to progress. Beyondtemptation is interesting now that she has got her head in front again. It is doubtful she will go on a similar spree to last season but if she is able to establish a lead from the off she will still be thereabouts at the finish. Appletree Lane is another contender for pacemaking duties and the weight she receives in these conditions could be a factor.
  1. Midnight Silver
  2. Beyondtemptation
  3. Appletree Lane
