Returned to form of late following up a good win at Chepstow (5f, good-to-soft) with two placed efforts at Brighton. Races off the same mark as for each of those placings and is one to note in this contest.

Finished a close second the last twice including by a nose over an extended 5f on good-to-soft ground here two weeks ago. Races off a 1lb higher mark today and softer ground shouldn't inconvenience him.

Only victory so far came on the AW at Kempton in April. Best effort since joining this yard came when runner-up over an extended 5f here a fortnight ago but she has disappointed since.

Returning from nearly a year off when runner-up over an extended 5f on firm ground here in May. Well held in the main since and wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Victorious over 5f at Chepstow (soft) when last in action back in June. Raised 3lb for that victory and best form on turf has come with plenty of cut in the ground.

Well beaten on all four starts so far including in first time cheekpieces (absent today) on handicap debut over 6f at Brighton (good-to-firm) in July. Others make more appeal.

Some good placed efforts in the summer and not beaten far when seventh on her penultimate outing. Well held on the AW last time out and this return to forecast soft ground is likely to suit. Also declared 5:20 Musselburgh Sunday.

Only success so far came over 6f at Windsor (good-to-soft) 13 3months ago. Held on all four turf starts so far this season and races off a mark 23lb lower than when initially assessed.

Forecasts

Lady Joanna Vassa (11/4), Time Medicean (5/1), Everkyllachy (7/1), Fleeting Glimpse (7/1), Foxford (15/2), Silver Penny (8/1), Malaysian Boleh (8/1), Harrison Stickle (9/1), Tea El Tee (9/1), Emilene (33/1), Fivos (66/1)

Verdict

FOXFORD has a good record on soft ground having won once and finished placed once from three starts and she can follow up her Chepstow victory last time out by claiming this following a near four month absence. Top weight Everkyllachy is taken to chase her home dropping in grade today having placed in a 0-70 contest last time out while Time Medicean, narrowly beaten here last month can take third.
  1. Foxford
  2. Everkyllachy
  3. Time Medicean
