Consistent on the whole, and bounced back from a below-par run when third of 9 to Cherry Cola at Windsor last time. This looks a weaker contest, so she merits serious consideration.

Last Flat win came in 2016 but twice a winner over hurdles last year. Third at Lingfield in May, but ran badly here last time having been performing respectably over hurdles. May do better if she consents to settle better,

7/2
Has little in hand of the handicapper having been hit hard for a wide margin over 1m3½f at Bath in June. That form flatters her a little, and she's better judged on her latest fourth of 7 at Epsom. Others look better treated.

Best at around this trip, and returned to form when third of 15 to Follow Intello in a C&D handicap last time. Clearly back in good heart, but needs a bit more to win from her current mark.

14/1
Talented bumper performer who won twice at Chepstow in 2017. Looked to need the outing on her return from a lengthy absence at Lingfield in June, and might need another run or two to hit top form.

Was winning for the second time this year when successful over 1m5f at Bath in May, but she has disappointed in two runs since, the latest over hurdles at Fontwell. Cheekpieces applied, and claims if they have a positive effect, but risky.

6/1
Best effort in qualifying when third over this trip on fast ground at Lingfield on her penultimate start. Not discredited last time, but needs to improve to defy a mark which looks stiff on the balance of her form.

Holds place claims on the form of her second over this trip at Chepstow in May, but two efforts since have been less encouraging, and she is probably flattered by that standout effort.

Won two AW handicaps over 1¼m last year, and fairly treated on those efforts, but she has not shown similar form in two starts this year, and is opposable until showing more spark.

Forecasts

Harmonise (3/1), Kirkland Forever (3/1), Miss M (7/2), Lightening Dance (4/1), J Gaye (6/1), Top Rock Talula (7/1), Raven's Raft (10/1), Tobouggaloo (14/1), Midnight Mood (14/1), Shufoog (20/1), Cwynar (25/1)

Verdict

Not many to be very positive about, and while there are a few who could surprise, KIRKLAND FOREVER is the most appealing on the back of a series of creditable efforts, looking better than ever last time. Lightening Dance is the main danger on recent evidence, although Top Rock Talula is capable if leaving a couple of ugly run behind her.
  1. Kirkland Forever
  2. Lightening Dance
  3. Top Rock Talula
