Dual scorer last year including over C&D and looked as though she could do with the run over the same trip last time on her reappearance . Looks to have more to come and not one to leave out of the equation here.
Scored on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton over 6f (travelled well) to break her maiden before disappointing on her handicap debut when favourite last time out (found little for pressure). May find this trip a little sharp with her best form coming over 7f with the tongue strap going on for the first time.
Looked to display a little bit of attitude on her last start (handicap debut) at Doncaster where she was well beaten and now surprise to see the hood used for the first time. Showed her best form when winning over 6f ay Kempton Park on her second juvenile run.
The Thirsk maiden success over 5f came on her third start and her runs after that in nurseries were something of a mixed bag. Makes her reappearance here and the suspicion is that this mark is high enough.
Makes her handicap debut here after three reasonable runs in maidens although she's not been seen since last August. Looks as though handicaps will suit but possibly needs further than this 6f trip.
One of the more exposed types who has run a couple of creditable races this season without looking as though she is going to win anytime soon and may struggle to cope with some of the more unexposed types here.
Won a Redcar maiden over 6f as a two-year-old and ran into a well handicapped and improving sort last time out over C&D who won again subsequently. Could well come on for that run and one of the more likely ones here.
From a stable that are going well at the moment but she's not really gone on from her Thirsk maiden win over 5f and faces a tough test here from a mark of 70 off a fair absence.
Looks interesting on a couple of her maiden runs as a two-year-old especially the third at Haydock Park where she wasn't at all knocked around. From a yard that can have a tilt at the market and on her handicap debut a market watch is advised.
Hasn't looked the easiest ride in her runs so far the best of which came on her handicap debut at Thirsk over 6f behind Scofflaw last time. Eased 2lb for that run her mark still looks stiff enough on what she has achieved so far.
Had looked exposed until winning a 6f handicap at Yarmouth last time out off a 3lb lower mark. Has struggled to cope with marks like this before and faces some improving types here.

Plenty that you could consider in this competitive finale to the card with top weight VENTURA BLUES likely to be a popular choice after her promising handicap debut last month. The Stalking Moon ran into a real improver here last time out and is worthy of respect with Edged In Blue and Wujood two other to consider. Of those likely to start at bigger prices Twilight Spirit is the most interesting on her handicap debut from a yard who have been known to land a gamble with this type of unexposed sort.
- Ventura Blues
- The Stalking Moon
- Edged In Blue
