5/1

Fair fifth on handicap debut in a 6f contest at Newbury (good-to-firm) two weeks ago. Drop in trip looks likely to suit.

6/4

Decent third on debut at Newmarket (6f, good) in June but held in two subsequent starts. One to note for a top yard on handicap debut.

10/3

Ran well to finish a close third in a 6f handicap at Newbury (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is interesting dropping in trip.

Disappointed in two starts since finishing fourth at Beverley (5f, good-to-soft) in May. Latest effort came on handicap debut and first start since being gelded. Blinkers tried for the first time down in distance.

AIRBRUSH showed good form when placed on debut and the switch to handicaps can see her register a first victory following a couple of below par efforts. The selection hails from a top yard and she can see off Bartat who was placed in handicap company last time out while third place can go to top weight Champagne Highlife who is dropping in distance.
