In fair form at Wolverhampton in the summer but she lost her way and showed very little on her debut for new connections last time; seemingly best watched at present.

Still a maiden after nine starts and while he showed some promise at this course earlier in his career, his last couple of runs (both at this course) have been poor.

Won this race last year and only 1lb above that winning mark having not won since. Entitled to come on for the run last time and holds each-way claims.

Lost his maiden tag at the ninth time of asking last time out at Nottingham. Disappointed on his sole start here and can be slowly away be seemingly in better form now and first-time cheekpieces may eke out further improvement.

11/2
Hinted at some ability in some of his turf starts and not disgraced on return from an absence over 1m4f here last time. With the possibility he will come on for that effort and given he's less exposed than most, he's an interesting contender here.

25/1
Two wins from 18 starts but yet to win in five AW outings. Yard do well around here so can't be ruled out on Fibresand debut but seemingly vulnerable to anything well-handicapped unless he can find significant improvement.

Has won twice in 28 starts but well beaten in a couple of starts here and out of form when last seen. Wide draw not ideal.

5/1
Won twice on turf this year and has run well on two recent starts at this course. Suspicion he has one in him off this sort of mark and expected to run well after his effort from a wider draw last time in a fair race for the grade.

10/1
Just two wins from 32 starts, the latter of which was an impressive course success in February. Seemingly struggling since though and needs the return to Fibresand to spark a revival.

16/1
One win from 20 starts, though the losing run is mounting up since her sole success, a win on turf. Still above her winning mark and not guaranteed to appreciate the switch to Fibresand.

Sole win in 10 starts came on turf at Thirsk. Not disgraced on Fibresand debut last time and dropped 2lb by the handicapper so can't be discounted.

Yet to win in 12 starts and while she's hinted she may be capable of getting off the mark in three recent AW starts, she's unproved at both this trip and on Fibresand.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: N Mackay| T: M Appleby| OR:  45

On a poor run of form at present and yet to win in nine starts. Showed nothing on Fibresand debut last time out and well out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Nevada (7/2), Filament Of Gold (5/1), Jenny Ren (5/1), Long Socks (11/2), Dream Serenade (10/1), Oceanus (12/1), Lean On Pete (14/1), Sosian (14/1), Seventii (16/1), Handsome Bob (25/1), Love Rat (28/1), Let's Be Happy (33/1), Summer Angel (33/1)

Verdict

The unexposed LONG SOCKS shaped with some promise here last time out and is expected to take a step forward from that run for a yard in flying form at present. Last year's winner Lean On Pete isn't one to discount but Nevada could be the main danger in first-time headgear.
