Compromised by a slow start when runner-up in a hot 6f handicap at Haydock. Major claims on that form, but is up 5lb and has stamina to prove at this longer trip.

Won novice event at Newmarket last month, but has been held, though not disgraced, in two subsequent starts in handicap company. Bit to prove off this mark on first start on the AW.

9/2
Still looking for her first win this year, but usually runs with credit which means the handicapper shows little sympathy. Likely to give it her best shot.

Best run in three starts this season when a close third over C&D last month. Runs off the same mark and can get involved under her talented claimer.

Forecasts

Gorgeous Noora (5/6), Toy Theatre (4/1), Rebel Assault (9/2), Red Starlight (5/1)

Verdict

An interesting contest in which tactics could be crucial. Rebel Assault represents a stable whose runners are not afraid to make the running so she may be the pace angle of the race and could be hard to peg back if granted an uncontested lead. The one which ticks most boxes, however, is progressive top-weight GORGEOUS NOORA, who has stamina to prove but looks likely to stay this trip on breeding. Red Starlight has to prove her ability to act on the AW so a greater threat may be posed by Toy Theatre.
  1. Gorgeous Noora
  2. Rebel Assault
  3. Toy Theatre
