Up 5lb having seemed well suited on first try at this trip in scoring at Sandown last month and there could be more to come now she has finally found her trip.

Failed by just a neck at Redcar last month over 1m1f and ran into an in-form horse when second back at Redcar over this trip last time. 4lb rise makes life tougher but may not be at all far away.

Signs of some ability in three runs prior to handicap debut over extended mile at Wolverhampton when hampered and never got into it. Up in trip off 3lb lower mark and with stamina on dam's side, she could well have something to offer.

Admirable mare whose seven career wins have all come at this venue. Won here in July off 2lb lower mark and not beaten far here last time. Can never be ruled out under an apprentice who gets on well with her.

Seemed well suited to soft ground when scoring over a mile at Yarmouth in June on belated seasonal reappearance. Has run poorly in two starts since and might find ground a shade too lively for her unless heavens open.

7/1
Front-running Shamardal filly who is hlaf-sister to a Group 1 winner. Yet to score in five attempts but has shown a little ability. Runner-up in Windsor handicap last month. but less impressive last time. More needed.

Landed Leicester mile handicap last month off 5lb lower, then third to Truly Scrumptious last time. Steps up 2f in trip and worth noting for any market support hailing from shrewd yard.

Only one place from seven starts so far and runs here from 5lb out of the handicap. Looks to face a stiff task and others make much more appeal.

Forecasts

Geranium (11/4), Mina Vagante (11/4), Cape Cyclone (7/2), Trulee Scrumptious (6/1), Scenesetter (7/1), Balgees Time (14/1), Bated Beauty (16/1), Pushmi Pullyu (16/1), Winter Snowdrop (33/1)

Verdict

A trappy affair but the step up in trip may be the key to the maiden BATED BEAUTY who had a torrid time on handicap bow over the extended mile last time and may prove a different proposition here. Geranium appears to blooming at present and won well at Sandown last time. She is feared despite top weight, while old favourite Truly Scrumptious can never be ruled out at this track and is very much respected. Mina Vagante is consistent and has place claimes at least, while Cape Cyclone could improve and is worth a second glance.
