Winner at Wolverhampton in November. 5/6, just seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 23 days ago. Probably worth another chance back in trip.

2 wins from 5 runs this year. 13/8, going for hat-trick when respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 23 days ago, unsuited by way race developed, shaping well. Big shout.

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (15/2) at Kempton (12f) 21 days ago, just holding on. Form reads well and she merits strong consideration up 3 lb.

Latest win at Nottingham in June. Creditable length third of 16 to Meadow Sprite in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft, 18/1) 72 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers. More to do.

Won over 7f last year. Ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (8f) 51 days ago. Has lost her form, is significantly up in trip and a doubtful stayer. Plenty to prove.

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 15 months. Makes tapeta debut on first run after leaving Mark Johnston. Yard's runners been doing well on this new surface and he should stay. Interesting.

Meadow Sprite (85/40), Scarborough Castle (3/1), Aljaryaal (4/1), Smokey Malone (10/1), Nashy (14/1), Dew You Believe (16/1), Straight Ash (16/1), Bug Boy (22/1), Destinado (25/1), Artillery (25/1), Romulan Prince (33/1), Merweb (40/1), In Paradise (66/1), Quelle Vitesse (66/1)

Verdict

SCARBOROUGH CASTLE wasn't seen to best effect at Kempton and plainly has more races in him from this sort of mark. He gets the vote over Meadow Sprite and Aljaryaal.

  1. SCARBOROUGH CASTLE
  2. MEADOW SPRITE (IRE)
  3. ALJARYAAL (FR)
