In the frame all three runs, 7/4 favourite when good third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (10f) 62 days ago. Back down in trip and nudged up 1 lb so more needed.

Winner over 7f at Redcar in June but (cheekpieces on) arrives on back of below-form seventh in handicap at Catterick (7f) 11 days ago. Others appeal more.

In fine form this summer, scoring on first attempt at 7f at Sandown before fading fifth of 15 at Newbury when not seeing out 1m. Worth considering back to optimum trip now.

Progressing steadily, and stuck to her task well when second of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (7.6f) 14 days ago. May do better still now handicapping so enters calculations.

Still a maiden, but posted excellent third of 13 in 1m handicap at Kempton last time. Dropped 2 lb so holds solid claims.

Forecasts

Blue Skyline (11/4), Born A King (11/4), Wilfy (5/1), Ice Eagle (5/1), Letscrackon (15/2), Willing To Please (8/1), Purple Power (9/1), Frozen Waters (14/1), High Flying Bird (14/1), Cruising (16/1), Gert Lush (16/1), Moonshine Mo (25/1), Kentucky Hardboot (33/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but at the forecast odds WILFY is worth siding with as he scored in good style on his first try over this trip at Sandown before finding the step up to 1m just beyond him last time. Blue Skyline has been given a chance by the assessor, dropped 2 lb for his plucky Kempton third, so rates a big threat, and Purple Power is another worth a second look now she goes into handicaps.

  1. WILFY
  2. BLUE SKYLINE (IRE)
  3. PURPLE POWER
