Went close off this mark at Pontefract last week having been sent off favourite, but still ran with enough credit to suggest that a race of this nature should be within her grasp. Ground is fine and this jockey knows her well.

Still looking for a first career win but has come second in five of her 13 races and may have gone closer than third last time if breaking more alertly. Could perhaps do with some more help from the handicapper but not out if by any means.

C&D winner last June (in likely similar ground conditions as well), and is now almost back down to that winning handicap mark. Slightly out of sorts recently but can do much better now back at this track.

Recent good run of form came to an end at Newbury last time out, when perhaps the soft ground put paid to her chances. She's dropped 1lb as a result and should find this a more achievable target, likely back on a sounder surface.

0/7 in her career and beaten 24L off a 5lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time. Best avoided now even with the drop down the handicap.

Never figures in any of her three starts in maidens, and though she gets a low initial handicap mark as a result, it also makes her difficult to fancy here.

Verdict

It is notable that MISS RANGER's last win came over this C&D last summer, and also that it was only 1lb lower than today that she raced off when winning then. She hasn't been showing her best recently, but returning to a course, trip and ground which she's proven over and a more workable mark, a big run can be expected from Brian Ellison's filly. Ms Gillard is still looking for her first career victory but would have gone close last time if having a better start to the race, while Livella Fella almost won off this mark last week and is another to consider.
