Improved effort when finishing fifth at Doncaster (1m2f, good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Camomile Lawn (9/4), Autumn Leaves (3/1), Sageness (4/1), Fannie By Gaslight (6/1), Glitterdust (6/1), Whispering Sands (8/1), Crimson Skies (10/1), Becky Sharp (20/1), Blue Harmony (25/1), Stay In The Light (33/1)

FANNIE BY GASLIGHT made a winning handicap debut last time out and with further improvement likely she can maintain her unbeaten record in handicaps by taking this fillies only event. Camomile Lawn should be suited by the return to this trip and she can take second ahead of Sageness who was a winner on her most recent outing.
