Gary McGuire Octoberclub Empire Fighting Chance Fillies' Handicap

Bagged her third success of 2022 in 11-runner Haydock handicap last month but not in the same form when only ninth there since. Bounce back needed.

Second Chelmsford win of the year when quickening clear of 5 rivals last month. Her recent turf efforts don't make inspired reading so it's perhaps best to look elsewhere this time.

Won this 12 months ago. Just as good when runner-up at Thirsk and Pontefract this summer and she might have fouind the run coming too soon after only 4 days off when below-form fourth at Doncaster last time.

Starspangledbanner filly who landed pair of Ripon novice events (both at 6f) for Tom Dascombe last summer. Off 10 months, shaped as if in need to run when last of 7 in 6f Chester handicap 13 days ago. Needs to have come on a fair bit.

In good form this season, finishing placed on 4 occasions prior to producing a career best to resume winning ways in Chepstow apprentice handicap 8 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that so another bold show is likely.

Arrives in search of a hat-trick after wins at Windsor (6f maiden) and Yarmouth (5f handicap) in recent weeks. 6 lb penalty for latter win demands a bit more but she's still much respected as a 3-y-o heading in the right direction.

Placed first 2 starts before coming good in 6f Wolverhampton novice in May. Given a break ahead of handicap debut back down in trip. Unexposed.
