Dual winner at up to 7f on turf/AW as a 3-y-o who twice went close in 7f handicaps during the spring. Not disgraced more recently and promising apprentice takes off valuable 5 lb here. Possibilities.

11/4
Maiden/novice winner at 2. Respectable third in 7f Salisbury handicap on reappearance and not seen to best effect in a steadily-run affair when last of 5 at Newmarket (7f) in June. Another partnered by promising apprentice and better showing expected.

Each of her 3 victories for this yard have come at Bath, latterly back-to-back 1m events last summer. Yet to hit top gear in pair of starts this campaign though, including when fourth of 7 at aforementioned venue in June.

9/2
AW novice winner last November but not progressed from that in pair of handicaps this season, making no impression when last of 6 at Chelmsford (7f) on her latest start 13 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere despite operating from plum draw. Hood refitted.

9/2
Looked well served by drop back to 6f when getting on top close home at York on final start as a 3-y-o in September. Yet to scale same heights in trio of starts this campaign but mark is easing again and she's been given a short break since her last run.

Off the mark for this yard at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and went in again at Lingfield (1m) in April. Latest run at Leicester (on back of 9 weeks off) was disappointing but she may well be sharper with that under her belt.

Forecasts

Rock Melody (11/4), Verreaux Eagle (10/3), Soller Bay (9/2), Cygneture (9/2), Queen Of Burgundy (13/2), Keeper's Choice (9/1)

Verdict

VERREAUX EAGLE has largely proved consistent this year, twice going close from similar marks during the spring, and she could be the way to go teaming up with Harry Davies for the first time. Rock Melody, who wasn't seen to best effect at Newmarket, is a danger also partnered by a promising apprentice, whilst Soller Bay is easing down the weights for when things do click again.
