9/1

Sound effort when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 15/2) 14 days ago. Eased 1 lb and drop to 7f may well suit her.

2/1

Picked up where she left off when winning at Redcar in July. 7/2, third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus but more needed from this mark.

Forecasts

Star Jewel (2/1), Baby Alya (10/3), Celestial Queen (7/2), Ffion (4/1), Vanitas (5/1), Last Sunset (9/1), Algheed (18/1)

FFION lasted long enough from the front at Chester to think she's back in good order, and with the drop to 7f likely to suit, she looks the way to go. Celestial Queen got back on the up over C&D 3 weeks ago and may yet have more to offer, with Algheed another to consider.
