In good form earlier in the term with 7f h'cap wins at Beverley and Haydock. Finding life a little tougher from revised mark and failed to run her race last time when well beaten at York. Eased 1lb since.

Progressive this term winning three of her last six races, including at Chepstow in July off 2lb lower mark. Well beaten favourite latest at Yarmouth, but that appeared too bad to be true. Not out of it if able to bounce back.

Only win in 18 starts came here in 6f nursery in 2017. Generally a little disappointing but ran fairly well here in June when hampered and is now 3lb lower. Yard having quiet time at present.

12/1

Fair strike rate for handicapper and has won six of her last 18 races. Only just failed to add to that score at Yarmouth last time off this mark and remains competitive. Trip and ground not a problem.

ALNASEEM has done well since joining her current yard last month and appears to like this track. Her mile handicap win last time was a fairly convincing effort and she is fancied to go in again off 4lb higher dropping back in trip. Chloellie rarely runs a bad race and will not lie down without a fight, while top weight Astrologer has claims on her efforts prior to a below-par run at York last time. Dream World also failed to fire last time but had previously been in good heart and it would not surprise to see her leave that run behind her.
