Much improved performance here earlier in the month when finishing third of 12 beaten 1½L before finishing fifth of 10 beaten 3¼L earlier this month over 1m. Drop in trip may suit.

Well beaten on two occasions over 7f with much better efforts coming over 5f. Running for the first time at 6f may suit.

Beaten less than 5L in her last two starts at Kempton and here in December both over this trip. Market possibly best guide in first-time blinkers.

Unplaced on all four Dundalk starts but improved to finish closer on handicap debut last month. Disappointed connections on a trip to Chelmsford last time out and better expected here.

Struggled on first AW start here over 5f when last seen in October though was hampered and eased inside final furlong. Worth a market check now up in trip.

Seven-race maiden on the Flat last season and needs to show significant improvement on AW debut in this contest.

Has produced two promising runs of late here over 7f and 1m. Market likely to reveal chances dropped to 6f in this company.

10th of 13 beaten 4½L behind the well thought of Art Of Unity over 5f. Very little to be positive about from powerful stable.

Unable to halt a string of alarming defeats showing nothing in six starts including two efforts at this track. Very little to be positive about.

Well held at big prices in three maiden outings to date. Others make more appeal on her handicap debut.

Forecasts

Patrick Joseph (6/4), Clebourne (5/1), La Novia (7/1), Downtown Diva (7/1), Taylor Velvet (10/1), High Susie (10/1), Lady Evanna (10/1), Dandy Sue (10/1), Shecanrally (14/1), Eadbhard (16/1), Moorepark Lad (16/1), Sarah Kate (25/1)

Verdict

Usual front-runners Shecanrally and Downtown Diva may struggle from their draw in this contest so it could be Dandy Sue to set the early fractions here. While Downtown Diva and Patrick Joseph are sure to stake a claim preference is for CLEBOURNE who may well appreciate the 6f round here trying it for the first time.
  1. Clebourne
  2. Patrick Joseph
  3. Downtown Diva
