Struggles off a mark this high in the handicap but she's a game sort who will give her running. Probably wouldn't want to see any rain and wide draw is a negative. Vulnerable to better handicapped types.
Gained her first win since 2014 last summer at her beloved Ripon but struggling back up in the weights since and she is still 5lb above her last winning mark. Useful claimer booked at least.
Got the run of the race at Lingfield earlier in the season and dangerous if she's allowed to dominate but little chance of that around here, particularly from this draw. Looks in need of a little relief from the handicapper but positive jockey booking at least.
Former Dermot Weld recruit and showed some promise in a couple of maidens for that yard as a juvenile. Shown nothing for this yard though and swished her tail on her latest run so probably not one to have too much confidence in. Nice draw at least.
Bounced back to form last time out at Thirsk, holding on gamely in the closing stages and step up in trip may see her in an even better light. Up 5lb so probably has to improve a little but should be thereabouts once again.
C&D winner here last year and only 3lb higher for that now. Very effective when allowed to front-run and first-time visor could eek out a little improvement. Leading claims from a nice draw.
Unplaced and well beaten on her last seven starts but has worked her way down to a nice looking mark as a result. Should get the strong pace she wants to run at here and not dismissed if she can bounce back, but all her wins have come over 7f.
Two wins in 32 starts but has gone well twice this year and probably should have finished runner-up last time. Claimer is worth the 7lb he takes off in the saddle and the step back up in trip is a positive. Should go well.
Speedy sort who could well enjoy the nature of this track. The runner-up from her win at Wolverhampton last time has franked the form by winning next time out and she's drawn well here. Should go close and her jockey rides this course well.
10 starts without a win now and struggling to get her head in front despite some fair efforts. First-time tongue-tie needs to improve her a little and may struggle back in handicap company.

Turanga Leela (4/1), Rose Berry (9/2), Moonshine Dancer (5/1), Love Island (7/1), Socialites Red (15/2), Nudge (8/1), Sandra's Secret (9/1), Maureb (9/1), Rosealee (10/1), Pretty Bubbles (16/1), Belledesert (25/1), Bithynia (33/1)
If TURANGA LEELA is allowed to front-run she may be hard to peg back and her jockey is useful from the front. Socialites Red appears to be hitting a bit of form of late but the main danger to the selection is likely to be Moonshine Dancer who has had the form of her win last time out franked.
