1-27, that win coming earlier in the season at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) when 5lb lower. Form has just begun to tail off in last two starts. Has the ability to get involved if bringing her 'A' game.

Showed a bit of promise on debut, but below that level in two starts since. Initial mark probably a little bit on the stiff side, but it would no surprise to see her improve now in this sphere.

Yet to win but made the frame for a fourth time when 1¼L second at Bath over slightly shorter last time. 1lb drop will help and she is interesting with 3lb also claimed and headgear on.

The slowing of the ground in recent days should help this eight-race maiden, whose best effort was on heavy last season. Has now dropped to what should be a workable mark, so a more competitive run would not surprise.

0-10 but placed four times, two of those here last year. Was runner-up at Newcastle in March from 5lb higher, but out of sorts since. Potentially well handicapped, but does have a bit to prove now.

Beaten just 1¼L over C&D in cheekpieces two starts ago. Now 2lb lower. Well held over 5f latest, but now back here and up in trip, he is respected.

Scored from 15lb higher on AW when with David O'Meara last year. Well held all five starts for this yard. Others preferred.

Declared to run in first-time cheekpieces at Redcar on Wednesday. 2lb drop will help and could begin to do better if he takes this option.

Well held in all but one start this year and headgear needs to have a very positive effect to see him get competitive.

Forecasts

Donny Belle (9/4), Se You (5/1), Bonanza Bowls (11/2), Elysee Star (11/2), Mother of Dragons (13/2), Gorgeous General (10/1), Darling Darcy (14/1), Flo's Melody (14/1), Another Situation (25/1), Lina's Star (25/1), Eyes of Fire (33/1)

Verdict

Another moderate affair where DONNY BELLE is suggested. David Brown's filly looks interesting in headgear and with 3lb claimed. Darling Darcy could be a threat, while a return to better by Se You on this ground would not surprise. Elysee Star could do better back here, with Bonanza Bowls another possible danger.
