Up 1lb for a good third on handicap debut having taken a Chelmsford maiden convincingly on her previous start. Certainly has scope to progress and no surprise to see her pick up a second career win here.
Has only showed any real form of note on soft ground, with those performances also coming for this previous trainer. Has shown little in Britain so far and should play only a minor role once again.
Hasn't quite shown the required class to strike in a maiden event, but now switches to handicaps where things should be a bit easier for her, and goes here off what could prove to be a lenient opening mark.
Off the mark at Bath last time and now shoulders a penalty as a result. That was a resounding victory though, so there's no reason why she shouldn't be up to the challenge once again on ground she has already shown she enjoys.
Has been running well on Lingfield's Polytrack recently and returns to the turf up only 2lb compared to last season. Could prove well handicapped in that regard and no reason why she shouldn't go close here.
Has already shown some issues with temperament prior to unseating his rider at Bath last time while exiting the stalls. Has run some solid races but is a risky proposition and looks a cut below some of these in terms of class.
Has run five races of little account so far and goes from way out of the handicap here. Would be a big surprise to even see him place, let alone win.

Rebecca Rocks (3/1), Jashma (3/1), Midnightly (7/2), Mercers (4/1), Lightoller (15/2), Who Told Jo Jo (10/1), Grecian Divine (16/1), Taurean Gold (25/1)
A few of these have already got some good form in the book, and have plenty of scope to improve. MIDNIGHTLY fits that description having won a Chelmsford maiden last year before running creditably at Windsor on handicap debut last time. Up only 1lb for that impressive performance, more improvement can be expected from Rae Guest's filly. Mercers is another filly who looks potentially well handicapped on the basis of some recent all-weather performances, while Rebecca Rocks is also worth a mention, having been allotted a potentially lenient opening mark.
