Looked to show some promise when winning a maiden and a handicap early last year but has regressed since then and has become increasingly temperamental. Has a chance at the weights dropped in grade but recent starts off-putting.
Needs to put aside his latest run which was disappointing dropped to selling company for the first time and well weighted on his penultimate run at Ayr off this mark. Cheekpieces back on for this run and chance if he can bounce a here.
Benefitted from a positive ride when taking a Redcar handicap off a mark of 55 but received a harsh 10lb rise for that victory and has struggled in handicaps since. Now hooded she drops down in grade and may face pace pressure here.
Without a doubt she performs to a much higher standard on a better surface and this soft ground is a worry. Won a maiden over C&D but that was on good-to-firm ground and her last two starts on softer ground have been below-par.
Not been able to back up the improved form she showed over C&D on her second handicap start. Managed one sound enough run off the back of that outing but her chance was stymied by the soft ground last time and it could be the same here.
Still a maiden but a fair one who now drops in grade after finding her good run of form coming to an end last time out. If she can be forgiven that run her form reads far better than most of the field and gives her a chance.

What Wonders Weave (13/8), Greenview Paradise (7/2), Another Go (4/1), Character Onesie (4/1), Shambra (15/2), Beauden Barrett (15/2), Restive (10/1), Bonnie Gals (20/1)
Richard Fahey must have a fair chance of landing this seller with Greenview Paradise and CHARACTER ONESIE giving him a good 1-2 punch with the latter the preferred option having won around here before. Outside of those two the options are limited with What Wonders Weave being a doubt on the ground and a few of the others like Restive having regressive profiles. Shambra doesn’t look that well treated at the weights but would be dangerous if she gained an easy lead while Bauden Barrett will have his supporters based on his earlier Ayr run.
