C&D winner here last month and ran a fair race returning to this track when fifth last time out. Likely more needed if he's to take this contest.

Stepped up on previous efforts when finishing runner-up over 7f at Kempton earlier this month. Drop in trip not certain to suit and over two years since her latest success.

Well held in recent starts including when last of eight at Bath (good) last time out. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and others make more appeal.

Signs of ability on two most recent starts in maiden company including over this trip at Kempton last time. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Sole success for previous yard came off a 6lb lower mark at Brighton a year ago. Placed twice since joining this stable earlier this year and interesting if putting a disappointing effort last time out behind her.

Made a promising handicap debut when fourth over 7f at Newcastle earlier this month. Dropped 3lb for that effort and is less exposed than most of her rivals today.

Put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when finishing runner-up over 5f at Wolverhampton at the weekend. Races off the same mark today and is an interesting runner on this occasion.

Only victory so far came off this mark over C&D 13 months ago. Put in a couple of fair efforts so far this season and tackles a 0-55 contest for the first time since finishing third at Yarmouth in June.

Broke his maiden at the ninth attempt when successful over this trip at Wolverhampton at the end of last month. Raised 5lb for that success and interesting to see how he fares today.

Running well in the main of late including when winning over this trip at Redcar (good-to-firm) last month. Couple of sound efforts since including on the AW and one to note returning to 6f.

Forecasts

Fikhaar (5/2), Hurricane Rock (9/2), Gaia Princess (6/1), Tasaaboq (7/1), Firesnake (8/1), Fever Few (9/1), State Residence (10/1), Mellow (20/1), Sakhee's Jem (20/1), Doctor Parkes (25/1), Harlequin Rose (25/1), Manipura (33/1), Jazz Legend (33/1), Sandacres (33/1)

Verdict

MANIPURA may be worth chance in this concluding contest. The selection has run well in this grade before and with the exception of her latest effort hasn't been beaten far in better races over this trip on turf in recent starts. The unexposed Fikhaar can claim second following a highly promising handicap debut last time out while State Residence, third the last twice can fill the same position today.
