Has been running consistently in four starts this term and duly rewarded with 7f success at Carlisle (good to firm) ten days ago. Has a 6lb penalty to defy for 1L win now upped in distance.

Not a reliable yardstick but ran one of her better races over 7f (good to firm) at Musselburgh last month on reappearance. Some potential if building on that.

One win to date came over a mile on Dundalk's AW in October, turf form in five starts much less encouraging including over 1m2f at Ayr last month when beaten almost 15L on good to firm.

She's slipped 5lb below her last winning mark now and may find this trip is beyond the optimum. Tends to do best work at Ayr and entered in 20:40 at that track on Wednesday.

The filly showed enough in four maidens last year to command respect now returning to action in a handicap for the first time for this yard. This isn't the strongest contest and she should be competitive.

Forecasts

Titi Makfi (5/4), Arcane Dancer (7/2), Flinty Fell (4/1), Forever A Lady (9/2), Black Agnes (5/1), American Hustle (8/1), Dark Crystal (10/1)

Verdict

Forever A Lady got the job done nicely at Carlisle last time but could find the 6lb penalty imposed is enough to ground her ambitions now. Titi Makfi is very much one to note on handicap debut from a respected yard but this might be the time to catch AMERICAN HUSTLE. He went well on reappearance last year at Catterick in similar conditions and has some decent placed efforts on turf. This isn't the toughest starting point for the new campaign. Arcane Dancer would have a chance on form if turning up having been engaged at Beverley yesterday.
  1. American Hustle
  2. Titi Makfi
  3. Forever A Lady
