Very consistent sort who has done most of her winning on the AW. Best turf efforts have come on a faster surface than what she'll get here but can't be dismissed if the ground dries out and she gets some pace to run at.

On a fair mark after some just below par efforts this year. Unlikely to get much competition for the lead here and can't be dismissed if her useful claimer can get her over from a wide draw. Has run well here in the past without winning.

7/2
Has returned to form this campaign with a win and a runner-up effort at Chepstow, racing a little too keenly on the latter effort. Hard to say handicap mark is any more than fair but she should run well enough and arrives in form.

9/1
Has only raced at Yarmouth so far this season, having won on her reappearance there in May. Probably wants fast ground to be seen at her best though and maybe better over a little further than this.

Fair effort on debut last year and may come on for her recent reappearance at Salisbury on first start for this yard. Looks on a fair mark for handicap debut and jockey booking catches the eye.

Makes handicap debut and has progressed with each start in maiden company. Sizable step forward needed now but on a decent mark if she does improve.

6/1
Has found a bit of form in recent months, making virtually all when landing a 15-runner 7f handicap at Lingfield. Showed plenty of tenacity when just touched off at Newmarket last time out and faces a rise in the weights for that but not dismissed.

4/1
One win from eight career starts coming at Leicester in July but couldn't build on that in two subsequent runs and finished fifth of 12 last time at Salisbury. Dropped 1lb for that and gets the services of a top jockey so she could run well.

Yet to get off the mark but went close at Ripon two starts back. Has shaped like in need of a step up in trip so may do better here.

Forecasts

Here's Two (7/2), Helfire (4/1), Miss Osier (4/1), Emily Goldfinch (6/1), Twilight Spirit (7/1), Anastazia (9/1), Sarangoo (10/1), Mississippi Miss (16/1), Violet's Lads (33/1), Poyle Emily (33/1)

Verdict

Poyle Emily may come on for her most recent run while Emily Goldfinch should remain effective despite a rise in the weights. However, MISS OSIER is the selection with Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle for the first time here and the handicapper has given her some relief after a below-par effort last time out.
  1. Miss Osier
  2. Poyle Emily
  3. Emily Goldfinch
