Gained first victory over course and distance two starts back. 10lb higher mark now but showed capability again when second last time out and she seems to be improving.

Chelmsford 6f winner in September drops back to 5f for first time today. Travelled well last time before weakening so suggestion that it could suit her.

Maiden of nine races and last in both starts since switched to this yard. Handicap on the slide but doubtful she can take advantage.

December 2016 Southwell maiden winner returned from 11 month absence with an excellent second over course and distance at 66/1 latest. 1lb higher today but fitness could be improved so merits serious respect.

22/1
Veteran of 109 starts, winning 13. Mostly below par this year although she gained an upset win at Ffos Las in January. 3L fifth last time (Gorgeous second) over C&D. Handicapper aids her here so each way possibilities.

Made the frame for the first time last time out at Newcastle over today's trip. Handicapper further aids him so chances of another good run if proving that wasn't a one off.

Fine campaigner over the years, winning 18 times. Only made the frame once in 11 starts since he won in May so at present others make more appeal.

Very well treated on old form and ran a fine race in first start for this yard last time out at Southwell. Same mark today so obvious chance although draw not ideal.

Forecasts

Fikhaar (11/4), Something Lucky (3/1), Gorgeous (3/1), Oh So Dandy (7/1), Toolatetodelegate (10/1), Latest Quest (14/1), Nag's Wag (16/1), Your Gifted (22/1), Roy's Legacy (25/1), Bilash (25/1), Mags Well (50/1)

Verdict

GORGEOUS ran an excellent race on her return from a long absence last time out and there could be plenty of mileage in her current mark based on that effort. Also of appeal off today's mark is the potentially very well treated Something Lucky although a draw on the wing isn't ideal. Toolatetodelegate seems to be improving as she ends her three-year old season so she could play a part in the finish again too.
