4/1
Has won first 2 starts, improving to land 8-runner event at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago, easily. Makes handicap debut. Open to further improvement if she's equally as effective on this surface.

Course winner. 10/3, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago. Looks competitive from this mark, though needs to knuckle down for pressure.

80/1
Useful at best on AW. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tailed-off last in listed race at Bro (8f, 44/1). Off 149 days. First run for yard after leaving Kahlil De Burca. Plenty to prove.

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago, readily. Unbeaten on tapeta and looks set to go well again.

Last of 8 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 24 days ago, weakening quickly. Hard to make any sort of case for at present.

Forecasts

King Of The South (2/1), Horn Of Plenty (10/3), Alpha Theta (4/1), Sweet Celebration (5/1), Autumn War (11/2), Home Before Dusk (25/1), Jack Yeats (80/1), Mount Tahan (80/1)

Verdict

HORN OF PLENTY had a bit up her sleeve when coming with a strong late run to score at Wolverhampton last time, so this progressive 4-y-o could defy a small rise at a track that should play to her strengths. Alpha Theta is also open to more improvement, so she's a danger along with the thriving King of The South.

  1. HORN OF PLENTY
  2. ALPHA THETA
  3. KING OF THE SOUTH (IRE)
