Victorious over C&D on her penultimate outing and probably worth ignoring her latest effort when she raced alone prior to finishing well beaten over 6f here in November. One to note on her return from a break.

Dual winner on turf and put in a fair effort when 3L eighth over C&D when making her AW debut in October. Worth a check in the market returning from a break.

Just touched off over C&D on her penultimate outing and finished a good third to Fruit Salad when the pair met here in October. Races off a 2lb higher mark and one to consider today.

Bidding for a hat-trick over this trip at Southwell when finishing runner-up on his most recent outing. Clearly in good heart at present and he is one for the shortlist today.

Sole success in six appearances came over 7f at Kempton 13 months ago. Well held in both starts over 7f for this yard and market support would be notable dropping markedly in trip today.

Returned to form when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last month. Could finish only sixth here prior to that and races off a mark 3lb higher than for that latest success.

Followed up a solid second here by finishing fourth to Fruit Salad over C&D in October. Well held over further at Wolverhampton since and today's return to 5f should suit.

Nine race maiden ran well to finish third over C&D when making her AW debut in November. Raised 3lb for that effort and she remains open to improvement.

Forecasts

Daschas (6/4), Liquid (5/1), Duke Cosimo (13/2), Oriental Lilly (7/1), Poppy In The Wind (7/1), Twizzell (10/1), Fruit Salad (12/1), Pearl Acclaim (16/1)

Verdict

FRUIT SALAD can put a disappointing effort over 6f here last time out behind her by registering a third win in nine starts on the AW. The selection races off a mark 3lb higher than when winning here in October and can get the better of Pearl Acclaim who has been in good form on the fibresand of late. Of the remainder Liquid finished third to the selection last time out and can fill the same position today.
  1. Fruit Salad
  2. Pearl Acclaim
  3. Liquid
