Off the mark at the thirteenth attempt at Ffos Las last month (7½f) when getting up late to nail Spare Parts. Up 3lb but has handled this track previously (C&D) so possibilities if her confidence has been boosted by that success.
Back from a break at Chepstow last month (7f soft), and got her act together at the start to produce a stronger showing. A 6f winner at this track in the past (October 2016) and could be involved.
Yet to really make an impression in any of her races, either in Britain or when trained in Ireland, and well down the field at Salisbury on Monday (1m good).
Yet to win on turf and rolls into this contest to race on grass for the first time since October 2015. Falling in the weights and at least we know he's a proven winner (seven times), but it seems he's forgotten the knack of doing so. Nevertheless, reasonable claims on recent AW form.
Eight race maiden whose best form has come at 7f; fourth in a Newcastle Classified Stakes in May and runner up in a Lingfield handicap in June, so plausible excuses the past twice (longer trip).
1lb better off on official ratings with Ffos Las conqueror The Special One after being caught close home on his penultimate start. Beaten since, but a major plus to have this former champion taking over in the saddle as he seeks to get this gelding off the mark.
Six race maiden who has dropped 11lb in three starts in handicaps. Well beaten in blinkers latest and eye-shields now tried for the first time.
Had shown little until third of 14 in a 5f Chepstow handicap in June (soft). Ground conditions might well suit come post time, but one must have some concerns about this longer trip.
Poor as a juvenile for Richard Hannon, and no better since sent handicapping for her new yard in 2017, so very difficult to build a case for.

Much like Division 1 half an hour earlier, this contest is rather a stand-alone event and unlikely to yield too many clues for the future. The Special One and Spare Parts renew battle on similar terms to Ffos Las, and with the strength and guile of SDS in the saddle, the latter named might just be able to extract his revenge. Black Truffle has been competitive enough on the AW lately and needs respecting in such a weak contest, but a real chance is taken on past Brighton winner SUNI DANCER, whose in-running odds are likely to tumble quickly if breaking on terms.
- Suni Dancer
- Black Truffle
