Turned in a career best last time out at Thirsk winning her second race of the year appreciating the soft ground over 7f. The maiden she won at Musselburgh in May has worked out well and a 6lb rise may not stop her winning again.

Almost made a winning handicap debut on his initial run of the year an outing that remains his best of the season. Once again last time he failed to repeat that run and he looks to be struggling off this sort of mark now.

Beat a useful rival in El Cap (has won a handicap of 90) when taking his maiden on the AW at the end of last year over 7f. May well have needed the run on his handicap debut back on turf at Salisbury and now makes his debut for a new yard.

Given a very stiff task last time out at York in a 0-105 handicap this is far more her pay grade having won a 0-75 handicap off 73 on her penultimate run. Not really tested on soft ground yet so the surface could be a doubt.

5/1
Consistent sort who is already a winner this year over this sort of trip although that win came off a 5lb lower mark. Has run well since that victory though with the first-time cheekpieces seeing a little more improvement last time out and hard to write off.

7/2
Has taken a couple of handicaps this year with the latest one coming over C&D when just touching off Heir Of Excitement showing a stronger finish than usual. Put in a couple of shaky performances since although ran with credit last time out versus an improving sort.

Cashed in on a drop in grade last time out when winning a weak seller (well backed) over 6f at Lingfield. Now makes his debut for a new yard but makes little appeal on his last piece of form back in handicaps.

Showed ability in three maidens and eligible for easier handicaps than this with the stable not having had a handicap debutante winner in the past five years. This isn't an easy task but improvement can't be ruled out and worth a look in the market.

Forecasts

Aimez La Vie (10/3), Our Charlie Brown (7/2), Heir of Excitement (5/1), Tai Sing Yeh (6/1), Kamra (6/1), Acadian Angel (13/2), Betty Grable (11/1), Mamdood (14/1), Malcolm The Pug (20/1)

Verdict

Some relatively solid handicap form for this level on display here with Our Charlie Brown and Heir Of Excitement closely matched on their meeting here in July over C&D although the latter is preferred of that duo. The progressive form in the race looks to be held by AIMEZ LA VIE who is 2/2 with Paul Hanagan riding and should go close to adding another win here. Arcadian Angel will appreciate the ease in grade (slight doubt about the ground) and Betty Grable is worthy of respect on her handicap debut despite facing relatively stiff task.
