Well beaten in two runs to date most recently when 11th of 13 over 7f at Lingfield. Probably best watched at present.
Stepped up markedly on sole start for Ben De Haan when finishing runner-up over 7f at Lingfield on debut for this stable three weeks ago. Interesting if repeating that effort today.
Unraced Equiano filly bought for €25,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to useful sprinter Hella Hedge and worth a check in the market on her racecourse debut.
Held in two runs so far most recently when eighth of 11 over 7f at Lingfield on last months AW debut. Wears a visor for the first time today.
Slowly away and under pressure from an early stage when finishing a well held sixth of seven on her debut at Wolverhampton last month. Others make more appeal.
Ran well to finish runner-up at Ripon (5f, good-to-firm) on debut in April and a respectable effort in a Listed contest at York subsequently. Upped in trip on her first start since finishing 7L sixth in a conditions race at Beverley in June.
Shown a fair level of ability in finishing close-up over 7f and 1m on her three most recent outings. Slightly disappointing in a first time visor (replaced with blinkers for this) on handicap debut last time and drops in trip today.
Failed to build on a promising 4L fourth over 7f on debut at Lingfield when finishing well beaten over the same C&D 11 days later. Interesting to see how she fares today.
Well held over this trip on both starts so far. Probably best watching having finished last of 11 on her AW debut at Kempton last time out.
Respectable effort in finishing 7L fourth of 11 when sent off joint-favourite for her debut over 7f at Kempton earlier this month. One to note dropping in trip for a stable with a 29% strike-rate (2/7) of late.
Good efforts in two starts to date most recently when 6L second at Kempton earlier this month. Had Short Head behind her on that occasion and she is dropping back in distance today.

Sweet Symphony (9/4), Short Head (11/4), Poetic Imagination (4/1), Kath's Lustre (5/1), No More Thrills (10/1), Mount Victoria (14/1), Marilyn M (16/1), Marietta Robusti (20/1), Renny's Lady (25/1), Miss Mollie (66/1), Seaquinn (80/1), Crazie Maisie (100/1)
The marked drop in grade can see MOUNT VICTORIA register her first win on her return from over seven months off the track. The selection was contesting some decent early season two-year-old contests when last in action back in the spring and she can get the better of Short Head who can reverse form with Sweet Symphony from their running at Kempton last time out dropping in trip today. Poetic Imagination is another to note for a leading stable today.
