2/1
A regular here this summer and followed a pair of easy wins with an even better when chasing home Miss Celestial last time. That winner has been placed in Listed contest since so this represents an easier opportunity.

7/2
Three wins from six visits to this venue and ran right up to best on last two runs at Windsor and Doncaster. Acts on any ground and has to be on the short list at a track he likes.

7/1
Has been taking in some hot sprint handicaps this term and his run at Goodwood last time hinted at better to come. This a bit easier than his normal tasks and has become very well treated so not easily dismissed.

Front-runner who had a cracking time of things in 2018 when rattling off a four-timer going up 23lb in the process. Returning from a lay-off at Newmarket last month and should benefit from the run. Yard had a welcome winner on Sunday.

Looked a progressive sprinter with wins at Salisbury and Windsor this summer but not quite as good with two recent defeats. Should appreciate getting back on turf but others preferred.

Stand out effort to win at Catterick on penultimate start but disappointing otherwise and needs to bounce back after another tame effort last time.

Finished his two-year-old campaign on a low and has only beaten a total of two runs in two runs this season so plenty to prove on current form.

Four wins from 11 runs here. Back to form last couple of runs but this looks a hotter contest than the races he normally is found in and although he can't be ruled out, others are preferred.

Verdict

HERITAGE has been an improved filly this summer and her second to Miss Celestial last time looks even better in view of how that winner has improved since. She can give the weight away at a track she clearly likes. Line Of Reason hasn't been in this low a grade for a very long time and hinted on latest that a return to form is imminent. The Daley Express, another who likes it here, can fill the places.
