Holding her own in Listed company of late and holds sound claims back in a handicap for the first time in a while. Goes well here and yard highly respected - one to bear in mind despite an 18-race losing run.

7/2
Dual C&D winner that has sound place claims on the pick of her efforts. But has bit to find with Pixeleen and needs everything to go her way if considered for win only purposes.

Typically being kept busy by his thriving yard, this fellow has already had eight previous starts this season. Not getting any respite from the assessor, though. And still looks weighted to the hilt.

10/1
First four starts brought little in return but took a considerable step forward to make all over C&D last time out. That was an ordinary looking maiden on face value but the filly won in good style and cannot confidently be ruled out. One to monitor carefully in the betting.

Still on a fair mark but was well below his best on seasonal return over 7f at Leicester 11 days ago. Drop in trip and first-time headgear may prompt a revival but he's on a retrieval mission is hard to fancy just now.

8/1
Solid effort in first-time visor last time out - that was his debut over C&D, so interesting to see if he can capitalise on this quick return. Last won from a 9lb higher mark, so another that appeals as one to keep on the right side if supported.

Forecasts

Pixeleen (6/5), Belledesert (7/2), Highly Sprung (4/1), Lydia's Place (7/1), Miracle Garden (8/1), Under The Covers (10/1), Case Key (20/1)

Verdict

The consistent PIXELEEN is the most interesting candidate and gets the nod to get to winning ways here. Belledesert has a bit to find with the selection but may be more resilient than a few of the others. Under The Covers and Miracle Garden are others to consider for a more adventurous inclusion for the forecast.
