66/1
100/1 winner of a bumper where the testing conditions seemed ideal. Well beaten on both starts since and makes his Flat/AW debut. Likely to find some of these too quick.

Improved for a step up in trip a month ago and that effort showed he has the ability to win a small race. Has to concede weight to some evenly matched fillies and that may be a tall order.

13/8
Saw too much daylight on the front end last time when dictating a steady pace. Pulled hard that day on her first run back from a layoff. Stable's horses are going much better now and she does not need to improve by much.

6/4
Beaten by a fitter rival when an odds-on failure here in July, whilst soft ground and a change of tactics were her downfall last time. A BHA rating of 75 sets the standard here and in form yard now apply cheekpieces.

7/2
Well supported for handicap debut when finding a hat-trick completing rival too good in a falsely run race. Has a bit to find judged on BHA ratings but open to further progress.

Forecasts

Silver Link (6/4), Ocean Of Love (13/8), Stylish Dancer (7/2), Relevant (7/1), My Illusionist (14/1), Mangata (25/1), Samson's Reach (66/1)

Verdict

Silver Link is the pick of these on official ratings and the fitting of cheekpieces may be the answer. However, STYLISH DANCER is open to more improvement having been lightly campaigned and having produced such a good run last time. The 150,000 gns daughter of Nathaniel's latest effort looks better than that of Ocean Of Love who steps up in trip having dictated a slow pace on her return to the track last month. She proved hard to settle that day and the yard's horses are going well.
