12/1
On a cracking run of form of late, completing the four-timer with game victory at Nottingham (1m2f) in November. Not seen since and 22lb higher than first win. Could have another bold effort in her.

Unexposed sort. Landed Newbury novice last summer before good second in Kempton handicap (7f) in November. Absent since but form book is strong. Claims.

Improved enough to land Newmarket maiden last September but stopped in her tracks on handicap bow at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June. Down in trip today with more needed.

Doesn't tend to win that often and not threatened on both starts this term, including 9L eighth at Pontefract (1m2f) in July. Back down in trip. Needs more.

Only raced twice. Improved markedly from debut effort when 3L winner of Musselburgh maiden (7f) at the start of July. Light opening mark and remains deeply unexposed for handicap bow.

Already has plenty of winning form next to her name and continued her progression when winning 1m Kempton handicap in July. Up 6lb since in deeper grade but has to be respected.

Dual scorer in the French provinces last year and ran with credit in two British starts, including 4L fourth at Windsor (1m2f) in late July. Place appeal on best form.

Winner of a novice contest on the AW back in the winter but struggled since, including 8L seventh at Kempton (7f) last time. Major bounce back is required now.

Culminated 2019 with a first victory but not as good this season so far, including 15L defeat at Newcastle (1m) in July. Quirky and others make more appeal.

Thrice-raced maiden. Best effort came when runner-up in Redcar novice back in June before tame 13L in 7f novice here last month. Feather weight for handicap bow though which is of some interest.

Lady Lynetta (4/1), Amber Storm (9/2), Rue De La Gaite (9/2), Picture Frame (9/2), Gloweth (11/2), Little India (6/1), Topanticipation (6/1), Gamesters Icon (12/1), High Flying Bird (12/1), Lapidary (12/1), Roca Magica (18/1), Willing To Please (25/1), Mrs Upjohn (40/1)

Verdict

A mix of hardened sorts against those who are unexposed meet in this contest, and preference is for one of the latter in TOPANTICIPATION. She showed good tenacity and headway in a typically strong-looking Newmarket novice in June and with her current profile, she could be anything and is worth taking a chance with. The same can be said about Amber Storm, who was authoritative at Musselburgh last time. Roca Magica sets the form standard on her impressive wins on the bounce, but this is another step up. The likes of Picture Frame and Lapidary also looked as if they're coming back to form last time out.
