Has finished first and second in her two races over this trip for this trainer so far. On the same mark as at the time of that second, which came over C&D last week, and is 3lb well-in. One of the leading contenders once again.

Not in the worst recent form but no win over specialist trip since January 2014 and plenty more required in what seems to be a competitive contest.

Won over this trip in claiming company at Redcar last month, but has been decidedly less convincing in handicap company since, and is difficult to make a solid case for following those performances.

4/7
Very easy winner on her handicap debut at Sandown last time (7f, good). Carries a 6lb penalty for that victory but is due to go up a further 9lb in her future races and is very much well-in. Will be the one to beat if turning up in anything like the same form.

10/1
Fair fourth at Windsor earlier in the month (6f, good to firm) and goes off the same mark here, but her limitations are beginning to become exposed and she looks more effective over shorter.

9/1
Narrow C&D winner last time out and has been raised 4lb as a result. That was a career best performance and he'll need to find yet more now, but further improvement is not impossible.

Slightly inconsistent but put in a promising performance at Brighton two starts ago (7f, good to firm), and is capable of hitting the frame here if he can turn up in that sort of form.

Forecasts

Harba (4/7), In Ken's Memory (5/1), Nellie's Dancer (8/1), Daring Guest (9/1), Forever Yours (10/1), Tellovoi (16/1), Luang Prabang (16/1), Still Waiting (20/1), Nonno Giulio (66/1)

Verdict

If she turns up in anything like the same form that saw her romp to victory by 7L at Sandown earlier in the month, then HARBA should find this very straightforward indeed. She does have a 6lb penalty to carry but the fact she is 9lb well-in even with that extra weight speaks for itself. Reunited with Frankie Dettori and looking a definite improver, she may well have a future at a level considerably higher than this and is a confident selection. If she fails to fire for whatever reason, then In Ken's Memory could be next best following a fine effort over C&D last time, followed by Daring Guest, a recent winner here.
