5/2
Sixth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Haydock (11.6f, good) 32 days ago. Runner-up off a 4 lb higher mark at Pontefract 3 starts back, and a reproduction of that form would put her firmly in the picture.

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 25/1) 69 days ago. 0-12 on turf and she needs to produce a clear career-best here.

10/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 23 days ago. 2 lb lower now and he will be a danger to all if the ground softens.

7/2
One win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Epsom in July. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good, 7/2) 24 days ago. Big player off an unchanged mark.

2/1
16/5, fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Several solid placed efforts prior to that and, if the ground is on the quick side, he should give a good account.

Forecasts

Act Of Magic (2/1), Sudona (5/2), Ascot Day (7/2), Firewater (9/2), Sweet Dime (11/1)

Verdict

While SUDONA has failed to fire the last twice, she is now 1 lb below her last winning mark and may be worth chancing in a trappy-looking race. David O'Meara's charge appears to be pretty versatile ground-wise, whereas Act of Magic ideally needs a fast surface and, in contrast, Firewater's connections will be hoping that conditions deteriorate. Ascot Day is second choice.

  1. SUDONA
  2. ASCOT DAY (FR)
  3. ACT OF MAGIC (IRE)
