9/2
Twice a course winner over 5f she's yet to really fire this season in four attempts the last two coming over this trip. Heading back towards her last winning mark which gives some hope as does a return to the scene of her two career victories.

4/1
Finally broke a long losing spell last time out looking to be suited by a return to 6f and taking advantage of a mark that had slipped below 60 for the first time. Given a 6lb rise for that Carlisle win he has to prove he can build on that run.

Had started to look as though she was back to form when striking at Catterick over 6f on heavy ground in August looking as though she could do better. Again ran well over the same C&D last time (travelled strongly) and expected to feature here.

7/1
Now operating off a much reduced mark and looks as though she has the potential to do better although she would have needed the run last time after three months off. May well be suited by further than 6f but worth watching in the market.

6/1
Finally rewarded for her relative consistency when scoring off a near basement mark at Ayr over 6f a few runs back. Has maintained her form (trip too short last time) but can leave her finishing effort a little late at times the stiff finish here should suit.

16/1
A winner over C&D just under a year ago off a 12lb higher mark (second C&D win) he's shown very little this season beating just one rival home in his last two starts. Hard to recommend in his current form and best watched here.

Forecasts

Melaniemillie (6/4), Dodgy Bob (4/1), Reckless Serenade (9/2), Hamish Mcgonagain (5/1), Cheeni (6/1), Excellent World (7/1), Epeius (7/1), Roys Dream (15/2), Lizzy's Dream (14/1), Reflation (16/1), Dawoodi (25/1)

Verdict

The first division of a fairly low-key handicap where quite a few are out of form at the moment but MELANIEMILLIE appears to be in good nick at the moment and should travel well here from a yard that appears to have been in good form all year. Hamish McGonagain appears to be the main danger given he’s had a little break from his last start and even top weight shouldn’t be too onerous here. Cheeni often leaves her effort too late but remains a plausible option here with Roys Dream another one to note heading back towards a decent mark with Excellent World one to watch in the market off what is a much reduced mark.
