Made some steady progress in maidens through early summer, too keen on handicap bow at Doncaster in July and perhaps forgiving that run is best. Makes AW bow and not hard to see him getting involved.

Has the best form on offer, having gone close on multiple occasions in ten-race career so far, should be right in the firing line but doesn't appear the most straightforward or determined.

Returned from 302-day layoff with solid effort over C&D 16 days ago, just over 2L fourth of 12 in an apprentice handicap. Has to build on that in order to turn over these rivals on form.

Arcano filly is a half-sister to high-class Group 1 winner up to 7f Limato. Beaten just over 8L on debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last month in a maiden. Must improve significantly on that.

50/1
Mare has mostly been toiling in seven runs for two yards this year so far. Cheekpieces are added for AW return after 66-day rest but hard to envisage that she'll improve so dramatically as to land a blow.

Forecasts

Envisaging (4/11), Andys Girl (11/2), Decision Maker (6/1), Limoncino (12/1), Six Of The Best (50/1)

Verdict

It has to be of some concern that Envisaging remains a maiden after ten starts and while there is talent there, determination to win remains very much open to debate at this point. He has the best form on offer but might get found out by DECISION MAKER this time. He'd been progressing nicely prior to a flop at Doncaster on handicap debut in July. Returned from a break, he is worthy of another chance in weak contest. Andys Girl returned from a layoff with a solid C&D effort recently but will have to improve if the principles run near their best while once-raced filly Limoncino has scope for plenty improvement.
