9/2
Maiden winner on the AW at Chelmsford in March and ran a decent race when beaten 1L at Windsor (good) subsequently. Not beaten all that far despite finishing fourth of five over C&D latest, but needs to show a shade more to score.

Won a weak Brighton maiden in mid May (5f+ good), but has been held in a classified stakes and a Class 4 handicap since, so needs to produce more from a falling mark.

Kept on well to lead close home (beating Jeany by a head) when making a winning return to action at Beverley (5f good to firm) earlier this month. This opening mark looks fair and the same rider is booked for the mount, so no reason why she can't follow up given her progressive profile.

Cost £48,000 as a two-year-old a racked up a double at Southwell and Newcastle earlier this year (both 5f). Probably in need of the run at Wolverhampton last month and goes back onto turf for the first time in a while with a quality rider booked.

Doesn't appear to find winning all that easy, but she's difficult to knock with plenty of placed efforts on her CV, and she ran well when runner up to a stablemate of Wild Approach (Wadood) over C&D last month. She would appear to just hold Midnightly on that basis, but quick drying ground might be a slight concern.

Six race maiden who should find dropping back in trip to her liking after appearing not too stay at Brighton latest (7f) but others hold much stronger form claims tonight.

7/2
Hadn't shown much in four starts until improving when beaten a neck by Sweet Zain at Newmarket (5f good to firm) in late June. The third placed horse from that race (Dandilion) has won since at Beverley, so the form looks okay, but you just wonder slightly about her reserves in a driving finish.

Forecasts

Flying Foxy (3/1), Wild Approach (10/3), Cool Breeze (7/2), Midnightly (9/2), Miss Rosina (15/2), Secret Strategy (9/1), Maggi May (12/1), Cherry Leyf (25/1)

Verdict

A nice sprint handicap to conclude the card which in the main is contested by fillies. Flying Foxy is on the up and made a good impression when scoring at Beverley recently and must surely go close with Kevin Stott again booked to ride, whilst Cool Breeze was only just denied when showing much improved form at Newmarket behind Sweet Zain. However, WILD APPROACH looked to be a sprinter going places on synthetics earlier in the year, and switched back to turf with Jamie Spencer booked to ride can improve for his recent comeback effort and be unleashed late to mow them all down.
