Lady Lydia^p,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 77| D

66/1

A winner at Wolvehampton in March off only 1lb lower but not at the same level since and may struggle to defy top-weight here.

Form: 907496

(2)

Ibazz^v1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Manuel Fernandes⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

9/2

Penny finally seems to be dropping as regards handicaps, and she got off the mark last time. Up 4lb here but first time visor should help.

Form: 870251

(5)

Aquamarina⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Brisland| OR: 77| D

14/1

A winner on debut at Newcastle in March but outclassed in two starts since; handicap debut at Kempton last time didn't hold much encouragement.

Form: 108

(9)

Ariena¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

8/1

Yet to build on a maiden win last year but has run been running okay over this trip and this is her lowest handicap mark to date.

Form: 6-45375

(10)

Always Thankful^p⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: I Mohammed| OR: 76| D

16/1

Not always the most consistent but useful on her day, and would be in the mix following a good second over this trip at Sandown last time.

Form: 481102

(3)

High On Love²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 76

14/1

Runs since her last win beginning to build up but she has a proven track record in handicaps of this nature and she ran better than the form figure suggests last time out.

Form: 00-8295

(4)

Diagnostic²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75| CD

4/5

Off the mark last time having been beaten only a head on debut. Stays at the same trip here and looks an exciting prospect for some top connections off a fair opening mark.

Form: 21

(8)

Pretty Bubbles^v³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Adam Beschizza| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 72| C| D

25/1

Yet to win this year having put in mostly tame efforts over slightly shorter trips. Difficult to build a case for returning to 7f.

Form: 673656

(6)

Himalayan Queen²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: W Jarvis| OR: 66| C| D

25/1

Mostly exposed at this stage and though this filly is clearly capable of winning races she needs to improve on her two most recent efforts.

Form: 912735

(11)

Maggie Pink⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| D

50/1

No win since October 2015 and has it all to do after 24L and 30L defeats over similar trips to this the last twice.

Form: 470079

(1)

Isstoora^h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 66

12/1

One of her better efforts on handicap debut at Kempton last time over a furlong further, but a first-time hood is still going to need to bring about plenty of improvement.

Form: 4756

Forecasts

Diagnostic (4/5), Ibazz (9/2), Ariena (8/1), Isstoora (12/1), High On Love (14/1), Aquamarina (14/1), Always Thankful (16/1), Pretty Bubbles (25/1), Himalayan Queen (25/1), Maggie Pink (50/1), Lady Lydia (66/1)

This can go the way of DIAGNOSTIC. William Haggas' filly got off the mark in good style over C&D last time out having shown plenty of promise at Chepstow in September, and seems a progressive sort. A filly with plenty of potential she can improve again to make this a winning handicap debut ahead of recent Sandown second Always Thankful and High On Love.
