Similar level of form on first two runs on the AW but never travelled when tailed off last of five when blinkered on turf debut at Chepstow. Headgear not surprisingly left off now and bit to prove after that run.
Strong in market both turf starts and having shown ability on Newmarket debut, she was disappointing at Doncaster subsequently. Related to winners on the AW so perhaps switch to this surface will help.
Stepped up on debut when fourth of seven at Kempton on second start but then ran poorly on return visit to that track last month and something to prove now entering handicaps for the first time.
Has shown some ability on two of her four starts which have all been at the minimum trip, and gave impression that this extra furlong she tackles today could eke out some further improvement.
Her second at Hamilton on easy ground makes her opening mark look fair but has failed to beat a single rival on runs either side of that. Dam won on the AW so perhaps a switch to this surface may help.
Debut effort when visored was poor but two runs since have offered more. The drop down to 5f didn't suit last time so coming back to 6f today is a positive.
Best effort (moderate form) when fourth of five on debut. Stiff tasks when well beaten since and does need the first-time cheekpieces applied now to bring out required improvement.
Already has plenty of experience and took small step forward when 3L fifth of 11 at Chepstow on Saturday. That form is nothing special but at least it was a step forward. Yard also represented by The Good Ting.
Forecasts
Publicist (7/2), Highland Dandy (4/1), Bomb Squad (9/2), Shine That Light (11/2), Better By Far (8/1), Plum Run (8/1), The Chain (8/1), The Good Ting (22/1)
Plenty of these arrive here on the back of a poor run and now have something to prove. Slight preference goes to HIGHLAND DANDY who looked ready for a return to this trip when last seen. Publicist must be capable of better than her Doncaster run last time and could be the main danger, while Shine That Light, another who ran badly when last seen, could do better now the blinkers are off.
- Highland Dandy
