16/1
Two-time C&D winner earlier in her career who returns here on her last winning mark. Had success over 5f last year but not looked like returning to form on last couple of starts. She has shaped like she needs a step back up in trip and she may well do better provided she copes with her wide draw.

Placed on each of her last four starts but all five of her wins have come over 5f and not won since May. Edging up the handicap without winning and may be vulnerable once again for win purposes at this trip.

6/4
Overcame a break to win last time but didn't need to improve to win that C&D maiden. Likely to find this harder now tackling handicaps and it didn't look the strongest of maidens last time so while she's still unexposed and capable of improvement, she's not one to go overboard with at too short-a-price.

Sole win came over C&D and she's struggled to get her head in front since. Returns from a break now and will need to have improved to take a hand in this.

First outing for this yard when fourth over 7f at Chelmsford earlier this month. Both her wins have come on turf and looks better suited to that surface as well looking better over the minimum trip.

In fine form of late and clearly thriving. Up 4lb for recent Kempton win and good effort here in a competitive small field affair but will need a career best to score off this mark and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Himalayan Queen12
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-11| J: Sophie Killoran(5)| T: W Jarvis| OR:  65
5/1
Won a Yarmouth maiden on turf last summer and opened her AW account over C&D in the autumn off a 2lb lower mark than today's. Comeback run last time was a fair effort and she has fared best with the draw so every chance if she builds on that.

Forecasts

Atalante (6/4), Fredricka (5/1), Himalayan Queen (5/1), Assertive Agent (6/1), Tigserin (6/1), Noble Act (7/1), Saved My Bacon (16/1)

Verdict

Something of a tricky looking fillies' handicap but bottom-weight HIMALAYAN QUEEN may be able to make the most of her pea draw after a promising effort last time. Saved My Bacon has shaped like she needs this step back up in trip and arrives on her last winning mark while Atalante won her maiden well enough last time but she will no doubt need more in what looks like a stronger race.
  1. Himalayan Queen
  2. Saved My Bacon
  3. Atalante
