Consistent but frustrating sort who has placed six times from eight starts and ran respectable race when third over C&D 11 days ago. Up 1lb for that but has ran well off revised mark before and should be thereabouts once again.
Impressive winner at Chelmsford last summer but form tailed off subsequently, however showed glimmers of hope when 3L fourth at Lingfield (6f) last month. Place claims if running to that level again.
Improving sort despite remaining a maiden and fared better than finishing position suggested when 2L sixth at Chelmsford (7f) last time. Off the same workable mark in this and drop in trip should suit. Claims.
Winner at Lingfield back in January but held off inflated mark since, including 6L defeat at that track (6f) last month. Work to do on that form and remains on career-high mark.
Winner on handicap bow last term before form subsequently tailed off. Made encouraging return when runner-up at Windsor (5f) last time however and back on last winning mark. Not to be ignored.
Scored on her second start at Newcastle but not really gone on since. Last seen finishing 7L seventh at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and eased 2lb for that effort.
Thrice-raced maiden who made encouraging start to her career but disappointed when 10th on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month. Reduced 3lb for that however and has top jockey booked for the ride. On the shortlist.
Still a maiden after seven career starts and disappointed on first start for this yard and since being gelded when 7L eighth at Doncaster (6f) in June. Needs more now and others have more appealing profiles.
Only made debut at the start of June but raced twice since, including much improved effort when fourth in 5f Beverley novice (good). Likeable opening mark but may be one to do well in this company in time.
Not much promise in novice company last term but ran well enough on handicap debut when 3L fourth at Windsor (6f, good) last month. Eased 1lb for that and cheekpieces go on for the first time today. Not without some claims.
13-race maiden who raced with promise over 5f here on seasonal return but bombed out at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last time. Plenty more required against more promising rivals.
Forecasts
Yukon Mission (7/4), Gossip (4/1), Fuchsia (11/2), Champagne Supanova (17/2), Sacred Legacy (10/1), Pivotal Art (16/1), Youneverletmedown (18/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (18/1), River of Kings (20/1), Crime Of Passion (25/1), Trevie Fountain (50/1)
Another handicap in which the rivals are closely matched. Yukon Mission is arguably the most exposed but retains a level of consistency in this company without winning. It is likely she will run up to her mark once more but find one too good again, and that could be in the shape of GOSSIP. The filly remains the least exposed in the field and should be much more suited to this type of race than the one she faced last time and has the in-form Oisin Murphy on board. Fuchsia and Crime Of Passion both return to marks which saw them put in their best performances to date, while the application of cheekpieces to Sacred Legacy is notable and could irk out some necessary improvement.
