One good run for Ed Dunlop last summer but otherwise form looks moderate. Makes debut for new yard with a top jockey on board who has a 4-19 record for them.

Winner of two races but handicapper has been in charge lately. Tackles a new trip but related to a couple of middle-distance winners so some merit in the experiment.

12-race maiden under both codes but has posted some good efforts on soft ground. Chances depend on the forecast rain making sufficient difference and jockey bookings suggest Dora's Field is the yard's main hope.

Best efforts include a win in a Fairyhouse claimer and a second of five at Wolverhampton. Well beaten on last three starts but has tumbled down the weights as a result.

Scored under this rider last time and the runner-up has since given the form a boost. Shaped well here off a slightly higher mark on soft ground last season so may have a lot more to offer.

Both victories have come at Brighton so these similar undulations should be fine. This looks a tougher test than last time but her yard do well here and are in form.

Only had two runs on turf so hard to assess how she may fare and in particular should there be plenty of rain. Handicapper may have her measure for now.

Verdict

Dora's Field is interesting on her debut for a new yard and particularly as the jockey has a good strike rate for them. Her best effort came on fast ground last season and the forecast for wet weather must be a concern although that would suit her stable companion Dizzey Heights. Angelical won last time and that form has been boosted since. She has C&D form on soft ground so she will be ready for whatever conditions present themselves. Miss Inga Sock has more to do than when scoring last time but DISTANT HIGH will arrive seeking a fourth C&D success. The mare has been dropped in the weights having finished fourth here recently. That run will have been needed following a break and underfoot conditions will be more to her liking now. She is 4lb below her last winning mark before considering her capable rider's allowance.
