Knocking on the door lately but the handicapper will not let her in. Back to her right trip here but weighted to find one or two too good again.

Kempton specialist who has won four of his last seven. Last couple of wins have worked out well so current mark does not tax him heavily. Needs to prove himself ready after a break and on turf.

Fulfilled early promise when dead-heating at Chepstow before scoring impressively over C&D last time. Up in the weights but the hat-trick remains in reach.

Consistent filly who is suited to undulating tracks such as Brighton and Lingfield. Should be at home around here providing conditions begin to dry out.

Sole win came in an AW seller but he has been competitive on turf in higher grade since and gets to race off a career low mark here. Looks hard to win with but should be in the mix.

Eight-race maiden who appears to have had his problems. Fourth over 1m6f two weeks ago and needs to improve further.

Forecasts

Ya Jammeel (10/11), Milky Way (4/1), Safira Menina (9/2), Becca Campbell (6/1), Hepplewhite (8/1), Rail Dancer (14/1), Tower Power (14/1), Smooth Operator (16/1)

Verdict

Becca Campbell and Hepplewhite are two exposed types who can be relied upon to be thereabouts and should again go well in this. Milky Way represents a yard and rider in excellent form. His latest effort suggested he was ready to land a race soon but on this occasion he may have to give second best to YA JAMMEEL. The lightly raced four-year-old is on a hat-trick following a course and distance success two weeks ago. Another positive ride against a similar calibre of opponent will make him tough to beat.
