Beaten 6½L by Mraseel in a 6f Wolverhampton novice median auction stakes in late October (100/1). Joined a new yard since, but hit with a 14lb rise in the weights.

All downhill since a relatively positive debut at Beverley in April (5f good to firm). No show on her handicap debut in September, and dropped 5lb for the switch to the AW.

Posted a slightly improved effort on handicap debut when 5L fifth of ten to Jonnysimpson at Kempton in October (5f). Worth a try over an extra furlong.

Looks to have lost her way since offering some minor promise early on in her career. Dropped 4lb in the weights for her second start in a handicap, and wears the first time blinkers.

Dismal on her handicap debut at Leicester late last month, where she patently didn't stay 7f. Back in trip now, and returned to the AW from a 3lb lower mark in first time blinkers.

In truth hasn't achieved an awful lot in four career starts, with her Ffos Las third in early August not representing strong form. Slowly away and always in the rear on her handicap debut, she's down 3lb for the switch to synthetics.

Not beaten all that many home in three starts thus far, and goes handicapping for the first time seeking to show at least some signs of ability.

Had six attempts at breaking his duck, and he raced in a seller on his penultimate start. Well beaten over 7f at Brighton latest and a surprise if he's the winner.

Hic Bibi (9/4), Mossketeer (9/2), Watching Spirits (5/1), Shadow Seeker (9/1), Roseau City (10/1), Mirek (10/1), Moremoneymoreparty (12/1), Royal Crown (12/1), Jazzy Girl (14/1), Royal Wave (16/1), Grasmere (33/1), Swiss Psalm (33/1), Lastoneforthecraic (66/1)

Verdict

With all due respect to connections, a fairly desperate opening to the card, with a collection of horses (mainly fillies) who have shown precious little ability on the racetrack, many of whom are now sent handicapping for the first time at the basement level. HIC BIBI made most to score under this rider at Kempton recently (6f), and whilst she needs to prove she can back that effort up from a 4lb higher mark at a different AW venue, the opposition could hardly be weaker.
