1m and 1m2f winner looked all over the winner until collared late over 1m2f at Newcastle on return. This trip remains a slight quandary but certainly comes here as one of the chief players.

Veteran a C&D winner last August but somewhat hit and miss afterwards. Has no secrets from the handicapper but EW player first time out if ready to roll.

6-30 on the Flat, including when successful over 1m4f at this track in August 2018. Struggled to make her mark over hurdles but not totally ruled out here.

5/2
Broke her maiden in final three-year-old start at Pontefract (!m4f, soft) and showed she may still be on the up with close third from the front over 1m6f at Redcar. This trip should be ideal and she looks a big player.

Pulled-up in final start and beaten 26L on Flat return at Haydock over 1m2f. Longer trip may help but hard to fancy.

2/1
1m4f winner at Beverley on return and just denied by a typically game Mark Johnston three-year-old in follow up bid there. Longer trip here not a concern and a big player in current form.

Far from prolific these days but 17lb below best handicap mark now. Ran well on return but shade below that since and longer trip not sure to suit.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw(3)| T: I Jardine| OR:  61
16/1
Triple winner from 1m-1m3f on good or slower ground. 1lb higher here than the most recent of those at Carlisle last August. That came in a better race than this, so she can't be ruled out, though her record when fresh gives her something to prove.

Forecasts

Vampish (2/1), Lady Scatterley (5/2), Firewater (5/1), Framley Garth (13/2), Maulesden May (14/1), Flood Defence (16/1), Corton Lad (20/1), Fiery Mission (50/1)

Verdict

Improving four-year-old LADY SCATTERLEY returned with a good third at Redcar and this out-and-out frontrunner may find this trip ideal so she gets the vote for the prolific Tim Easterby yard. Vampish who was narrowly denied in a driving finish at Beverley last time is a danger as is Firewater although this trip is a slight concern for him.
  1. Lady Scatterley
  2. Vampish
  3. Firewater
