Broke her maiden at the 15th attempt when winning over 7f at Brighton (good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. Strong claims despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

28 race maiden who finished hird on his last two outings including over this trip at Musselburgh (good) last time out. Trip and forecast ground both in his favour.

beaten 12L when third of six in a 7f seller at Leicester (good) in August. Disappointing over shorter since and others hold stronger claims.

11 race maiden finished 8L ninth over 7f at Newcastle last time out. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is retained and she is probably best watched at present.

Well beaten in five starts for her previous yard and handicap mark is falling as a result. Probably best watched on debut for a new stable.

Good fourth in a 6f handicap at Redcar (good) in August. Decent efforts in two subsequent starts over that trip but looks in the grip of the handicapper at present.

Cruel Clever Cat (9/2), Plucky Dip (5/1), False Id (7/1), Colour Contrast (15/2), Betty Grable (15/2), Jackhammer (17/2), I Am Dandy (17/2), Cupid's Arrow (12/1), Racehorse (12/1), Mossy's Lodge (16/1), Mr Cool Cash (20/1), Gaelic Wizard (22/1), Gone With The Wind (50/1), Flo's Melody (66/1), Bevsboy (100/1)

Verdict

CRUEL CLEVER CAT can defy a 5lb rise in the weights to follow up last months Brighton victory in the concluding race on the the card. The selection had recorded some good efforts in defeat prior to that success and can see off her rivals here with Plucky Dip taken to finish best of the rest having won last time. Third place can go to Colour Contrast who has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit.
