12/1

Won here over 1m2f (good) in May and returned to run well next time (1m4f, good to firm) from 8lb higher. Out of sorts last time, but if she can put that behind her then she would certainly have claims from the same mark today.

10/3

Has improved for each outing and got her nose in front in a Nottingham maiden (1m2f, good to soft) last time. Appeared to handle fast ground on her only previous try on it and is probably capable of handling this initial mark of 80. Likely to give them all plenty to think about from up front.

Light Of Joy³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 80| D

9/4

Scored at Bath (1m2f, firm) in maiden company in June and made a good fist of it on her handicap debut at Leicester last time when beaten just 1L. That was her best performance yet and from 2lb higher she looks capable of having a big say.

7/2

Landed a Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm) by 2L in June before taking a decent step forward when back there in a handicap last time, being touched off by just a head. Should be capable of building on that and being on the premises again.

11/2

Won here (1m, good) on her reappearance in April and followed up over this trip at Goodwood (good to firm). Handicapper has had here measure since then and from the same mark as last time she will need improvement.

7/1

Another who won here on her reappearance at this venue (C&D, good to firm) and returned to run well next time from 4lb higher. Held by the handicapper since then, but back here and from 2lb higher than her win, she could return to form.

Light Of Joy (9/4), Frosting (10/3), Marie Josephe (7/2), Darkroom Angel (11/2), Lorelina (6/1), Pernickety (7/1), Miss Inga Sock (7/1), Impressive Day (12/1)

An interesting fillies' contest in which FROSTING is given the vote. William Haggas's charge made all to win last time and looks to have the scope to handle her initial handicap mark. Light Of Joy could emerge as the most serious challenger after just a 2lb rise for winning on her handicap debut last time, while Marie Josephe, Miss Inga Sock and Pernickety can fight out the minors.
