Last win came in this grade and off this mark and while she has struggled in better company in three starts since, she hasn't been disgraced and shouldn't be discounted.

Winner at Leicester in May but returned last month on first start since wind surgery and was well beaten over this C&D. Best watched on that evidence.

Sole win in 15 starts came in Novice company and while she gets a much needed drop in class, the overall impression is that she remains in the grip of the handicapper.

Iffraaj filly, cost €150,000 as a yearling and has made a good impression in three starts with a win and a battling second when heavily backed. Stable won this in 2015 and 2016 and is one to keep on the right side of.

Lightly-raced filly who just couldn't quicken on soft ground last time. Previous two handicap starts had been progressive and providing the ground dries she can be involved.

Winner at Salisbury in a lower grade three starts back but while she raced to a similar level at Brighton, was then well held at Yarmouth. Needs to find extra off this mark with first-time blinkers applied.

Won at Wolverhampton on the AW on her third start and has run to a similar level in two handicaps since. More required but should get a stronger pace to aim at and open to improvement.

Yet to score on turf and left three poor runs behind when better over further at Chelmsford back on the AW. Drop in distance may be against her and this is much stronger company.

Better on turf and will appreciate the return from the AW, however although back on last winning mark, her three wins have come in a lesser grade and this could prove tough.

Broke through at Ffos Las on her fifth start but found the 8lb rise against her over the same C&D. More needed now up in trip and others look better handicapped.

Five-race maiden who showed promise on her first start since leaving Richard Hannon but was well below that last time. Looks a tough ask on handicap debut.

Verdict

IMPROVE has lived up to her name in three starts and while she was beaten at odds-on last time, she should benefit for the run and be suited by a stronger pace and a longer trip. Solar Echo didn't appreciate soft ground on her latest run and can bounce back while the grade looks much more suitable for Twenty Times. Dorella also can't be discounted..
  1. Improve
  2. Solar Echo
  3. Twenty Times
