Dual winner over a similar trip at Windsor (good to firm/good) and races here from a mark 8lb lower than the latter success. Drops in grade, and if she can reproduce her recent reappearance effort then she won't be far away.
Multiple winner at up to 1m4f, most of them over 1m2f on a sound surface. 7lb lowet than the last of those, which was almost two years ago. Beaten favourite but not disgraced at Windsor last time, and should be thereabouts if stepping up on that.
Dual turf winner at around this trip, on good/good to soft. Has run well over C&D from today's mark before, and has won when fresh. Not ruled out on his return to this code after a break.
Multiple winner over 1m2f-1m4f and has been in cracking form at this level on AW at Chelmsford this year. Scored again comfortably there last time, for which she is up 6lb today. Enters calculations back on turf, where she has won on good to firm.
Multiple winner from 1m4f-2m, all on a sound surface. Now back to 1lb higher than the last of those successes at Catterick last September, and after a couple of runs this season, it would be no surprise to see her more closely involved.
Didn't show much at three, but has improved in both starts this season, going close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), before winning readily here (1m2f) last time. Up 9lb for that but could improve again for this longer trip. Contender.
Placed just once from 12 starts across both turf/AW. Well held on last month's return to action at Chelmsford, but has dropped 7lb since, and that opens possibilities based on his AW form of last winter. Not ruled out.
Runner-up twice at Chelmsford (AW) over 1m2f/1m5½f, but remains a maiden after eight starts. Has shown the ability to get involved from this sort of mark, but now needs to reproduce that on turf.
Prolific AW winner who broke her duck on turf at the 12th time of asking when scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last month. Up 4lb for that, but could be a big player from this revised mark if she can come up with a similar effort.
Scored over 1m2f (good to soft) at Nottingham on her handicap debut in 2018, but has failed to add to that in 26 subsequent starts. Sliding in the handicap now, but little encouragement from her two recent starts.

Forecasts
Petit Bay (2/1), Sunshineandbubbles (4/1), Lyrica's Lion (7/1), Tiar Na Nog (8/1), Kingfast (17/2), Temur Khan (10/1), Fountain Of Life (11/1), Madeeh (12/1), Lady Of York (14/1), Apache Blaze (25/1), Flower Power (40/1), Urban Scene (50/1)
This looks one of the most competitive races on the card, but we'll stick with the improving PETIT BAY, in the hope that this longer trip will help with more of that, and she is taken to defy a 9lb rise. Sunshineandbubbles arrives in good form and could be a big danger, while Madeeh, Flower Power, Lady Of York and Tiar Na Nog are others of interest.
