Has been unable to add to his win at Ayr (6f, good) last year, on his second start. Has claims based on his third back at that venue (7f) in June, from 3lb higher, but has been unable to repeat that effort. Each-way player.

Sole turf win came on good to firm, but has won twice since on Tapeta (all three over 6f). Below par both starts in the spring and since had wind op. On his return to the track a market would be prudent.

Both wins have been at Beverley, but has shown that he also acts on flat tracks like this. Has hit a good level of consistency lately. A bit more needed for another win from this mark, but that is not ruled out.

His Ayr (6f, good) win on debut last year remains his only success to date. Went close from this mark at Hamilton last month. Below that level last time. More needed.

Scored at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, and has run to that level on three more occasions, including last time over C&D, when a neck second from 1lb lower. Just needs to raise the bar a little more. Claims.

Keen going filly who is 1-19. Could have a squeak from this sort of mark, but still has a bit to prove over this trip.

Scored at the 11th attempt when the neck winner of a C&D handicap last month (good). Well held from 2lb higher than today on AW last time, but back here she could do better. Not ruled out.

Forecasts

Poet's Dawn (2/1), Regulator (7/2), Chookie Dunedin (4/1), How Bizarre (5/1), Havana Mariposa (9/1), Super Florence (10/1), Roland Rocks (12/1), Armed Response (22/1)

Verdict

Several in here with a squeak. The suggestion is HOW BIZARRE, who has been consistent for the most part of late and wouldn't have to pull out much more to win for the first time on turf. Poet's Dawn is a potential danger, with Havana Mariposa another possible contender, along with Regulator.
