Runner-up on fourth start in maiden company at Wolverhampton and handicap mark looks fair enough for turf debut. Interesting runner if he can build on that effort and proves a better horse on turf.

Improved for the switch to handicaps last time out and every chance if she can build on that only up 5lb. Proven in the conditions after her win last time and drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience her; good chance with a jockey on who has a 30% strike-rate when riding for this yard.

7/2
Not the most straightforward sort but hit form recently with wins at Newbury and Southwell on two of her last three starts. Made all and stayed on strongly last time and only gone up 3lb for that effort. Unproven on softer ground has to be the main concern.

Shock debut winner at Newbury last term. Looked to be coming to hand when third at Windsor last time and the first-time cheekpieces today may help. Should run well.

25/1
Bits of promise in a trio of maidens earlier in the year but has struggled badly in handicap company and well beaten last time out in soft ground. Dropped another 2lb but plenty to prove for the time being. Engaged here Wednesday.

Forecasts

Finale (11/10), Funky Footsteps (11/4), Kyllachys Tale (7/2), My Illusionist (10/1), Testbourne (25/1)

Verdict

The fillies look more interesting in this contest and FINALE will take a fair bit of beating after a dominant win last time out; 5lb rise for that effort looks lenient from the assessor. My Illusionist shouldn't be ruled out on handicap debut while Funky Footsteps ran well last time out but it's Kyllachys Tale who may prove the main danger if she copes with the soft ground.
