13/2

Won a couple of handicaps at up to 12f last term (including one under this good claimer) and back in top form of late, third in a Newbury handicap last month. Mark is about right, though.

Bollin Joan^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

12/1

In decent form since the restart, making all in a pair of 12f Ripon handicaps, then giving her all from the front when third in a better race at York. Not dismissed at a track that should suit.

Angel Fairy²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83

11/4

Has progressed with each run to date, following her first success at Windsor in August with an excellent second in Sandown handicap. Can improve further up in trip, so should take the beating.

Form: 8412

Folk Dance¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 83

7/5

Comfortable scorer on the July course before a creditable second at Lingfield 17 days ago. Has further improvement in her but more likely to come in a bigger field.

Form: 63-7212

Kepala³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 82| BF| D

4/1

Generally progressive filly who won over C&D in June and posted excellent second of 7 in handicap at Newbury next time. Slightly underwhelming at Salisbury last time but given a break since.

Form: 62-4124

Forecasts

Folk Dance (7/5), Angel Fairy (11/4), Kepala (4/1), Chicago Doll (13/2), Bollin Joan (12/1)

ANGEL FAIRY is going the right way and promises to relish the step up in trip, so she can resume the winning thread under Ryan Moore. Bollin Joan is thriving and could be allowed her own way in front, so she's also worthy of consideration along with Kepala.
