Surprising he only has a wide margin Chelmsford novice win to his name as he has the ability to do better. Back to best when third of 17 in valuable handicap at Carlisle last time when well positioned throughout.

Lightly raced filly who got off the mark on second start at this trip at Kempton last season. Failed to stay 1m6f latest when going from the front and happier back at this distance. May have more to come.

Difficult filly to catch right and followed her Lingfield win in early June with a couple of tame efforts since . Claims on best form though predicting that isn't easy.

Had a cracking spell in 2017 when gaining all four career wins but despite several placed efforts, hasn't won again since. Needs a strong pace to aim at and if getting it, has to be respected.

Has been running well since joining this yard and was unlucky not to go close at Carlisle when 1L behind Volcanic Sky having endured a troubled run. First time blinkers tried then are kept on and another to merit consideration.

Yet to add to her Redcar juvenile win and just below her best so far this term. Now steps up from 1m2f. Trainer also runs Quicksand.

Forecasts

Volcanic Sky (7/4), Quicksand (4/1), Escape The City (5/1), Chingachgook (5/1), Unit of Assessment (5/1), C'Est No Mour (7/1), Winged Spur (9/1), Matewan (12/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap and hard to rule many out. With the stable enjoying a good spell it could be a good opportunity for VOLCANIC SKY to double his career tally and confirm Carlisle form with the unlucky Chingachgook. Matewan needs to bounce back from last run but generally has a progressive profile and could do best of the rest.
  1. Volcanic Sky
  2. Chingachgook
  3. Matewan
