Didn't have to improve to land a C&D novice in November, and while she needs to build on that to score on handicap bow, her turf form gives her a solid chance.
Has won two AW nurseries at 6f/7f, and solid efforts in defeat here on last two starts, going down narrowly when third to Shining Armor last time. Will give his running, and senior rider back on board now.
Lost his way for previous handler tackling longer trips, but took advantage of reduced mark when just too strong for Reticent Angel in a C&D nursery last month. Found out by revised mark last time, and cheekpieces reached for now.
Consistent on turf (6f-7f) during a three month period over the summer, but not gone on since switch to AW, for all he may not have stayed over 1m last time. Drop in trip and fitting of a visor may help now.
Second on nursery bow at Sandown for Robert Eddery, but patchy form since, and needs to bounce back to her very best now starting out for a new yard.
Forecasts
Beleaguerment (5/4), Wedding Date (4/1), Uncle Jerry (9/2), Xtara (5/1), Showu (11/1)
WEDDING DATE won on her AW debut here, and has been handed a very fair mark on the balance of her form on turf. She can beat the consistent Uncle Jerry and Beleaguerment, both of whom have crept up the weights of late.
