Down the field at Newcastle following a break. AW winner in January but has struggled with his new mark since. More feasibly treated now and new headgear configuration employed. Stable 5-24 in past fortnight.

Came to hand last autumn and has threatened to do likewise this term. Has gone well off higher in the past and attracted support on her most recent start. All three wins have come in this grade including one over C&D.

Fourth in a tight finish at Newbury in July when belying odds of 125/1. Two runs since suggest that effort was a flash in the pan.

Cheekpieces had a positive effect in July. Trip and ground conditions have not helped since but look set fair now, provided there is no further rain.

Plenty of encouragement from her latest effort, when a neck winner at Newcastle. Up 2lb for that, but ought to remain competitive under her good claimer.

11/1
Redcar maiden winner for Ed Dunlop in October 2016 (6f good to soft), but that form isn't up to much and sold swiftly afterwards for 11,000 gns. No encouragement in five starts for this yard in 2017, but plummeting in the weights.

Versatile mare who acts on any ground and who has struck up a good partnership with this rider lately. Not unduly penalised for her latest victory and she is down in grade.

13-race maiden who has been disappointing since a career best effort from the front over 1m2f here in July. Back on the track which has produced her two best performances and looks the likely pace angle.

Has hardly beaten a rival in seven career starts and needs to improve considerably for switch to a new yard.

Forecasts

Titan Goddess (7/2), Zaria (4/1), Kilbaha Lady (5/1), Miss Osier (11/2), Dor's Law (6/1), Pickett's Charge (9/1), Gabrielle (11/1), Luna Magic (20/1), Tawfeer (50/1)

Verdict

The booking of Martin Harley for Miss Osier catches the eye and she will have similar conditions to those which produced her sole victory in July for the first time since. Titan Godess has a good record here and has claims on her 2016 form and the yard have been back amongst the winners lately. Pickett's Charge should be fitter for his latest run and represents a stable whose horses are overachieving at present. ZARIA has improved since teaming up with today's rider and has not been harshly penalised for her latest success. She will not be inconvenienced by the better ground and has the most convincing profile.
  1. Zaria
  2. Titan Goddess
  3. Miss Osier
