3/1
Probably ruined her handicap mark by finishing fourth in a Listed event last time behind Dance Diva. Stable continue to find winners hard to come by and she faces a stiff task on these terms.

Handicapped about right based on her achievements so far. Stable 5-11 in past fortnight and holds bright prospects providing the ground does not turn too soft. Trainer 7-15 at this venue.

9/1
Musselburgh winner who has faced a stiff task on her last two starts. Those efforts raise some doubts abut her ability to go the extra furlong if the ground rides soft.

Improved for switch to this trip at Nottingham before facing a stiff task at the weights at Newbury last time. She was still sent off favourite that day before meeting trouble at the furlong pole. Cheekpieces go on and probably would not want conditions to turn too soft.

4/1
Has shown promise in two of her three starts which came either side of a poorer effort on soft ground. Pedigree and latest performance raise doubts she will get this far.

6/1
Fourth behind the useful Dance Diva (won a Listed race next time) at Redcar on penultimate start. Undoubtedly flattered by her proximity to the winner but at these weights you would expect her to finish ahead of Reflect Alexander, Silca Mistress and Diamond Pursuit. Fourth on latest start in another performance that suggests she is well treated here with a talented claimer enhancing her prospects. Must have a good each-way shout at the forecast odds.

Well beaten on each start and is 8lb out of the weights on her nursery debut. Looks hard to recommend on this occasion.

Forecasts

Reflect Alexander (3/1), Mraseel (7/2), Flo's Melody (4/1), Lexington Grace (9/2), Dyson's Girl (6/1), Faithful Promise (9/1), Silca Mistress (10/1), Diamond Pursuit (14/1), Angel Force (40/1)

Verdict

MRASEEL represents an in form yard who have an excellent record at this venue. Her handicap mark is no more than fair but she runs to a consistent level which looks good enough. Dyson's Girl is a front-runner who could take some pegging back off her featherweight with a good claimer booked to ride. Her form behind Dance Diva, even allowing for that filly's improvement, suggests she is well in here and her latest effort reinforces that view. Her yard have been quieter of late but she must have excellent each-way claims in this. Lexington Grace was hampered last time in a competitive Newbury event and she should be thereabouts.
