Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R L Moore| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 87| CD

7/1

Showed improved form to gain a third win from 7 starts in 9-runner handicap at this C&D 27 days ago. Up another 5 lb but she's still not taken lightly.

Form: 531131

Don't Tell Claire³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 83| D

7/2

Found his good run of form coming to a half when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 34 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 886320

Midheaven^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86

40/1

All-weather novice winner as a 2-y-o who has struggled to make a significant impact of late, only eighth of nine in 1m Hamilton handicap 23 dasy ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 246598

Queenlet^t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

6/1

Resumed winning ways with a career best in 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f) 9 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so she's a player under a 6 lb penalty now back over 1m.

Form: 91-6531

(5)

Poet's Lady¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 81| D

14/1

Lightly-raced mare who landed 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) 14 days ago. Only twice raced this term so she needs considering despite a 4 lb rise.

Form: 3100-01

(8)

Ellade¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 84| D

100/1

Scored at Newbury in May but she arrives out of sorts, coming in last of eight in 7f Newmarket handicap in July. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Form: 401098

(7)

Light Of Peace¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 84| BF

13/8

Placed on all her three starts, though she hung badly left when odds-on second of 5 in minor event at Newmarket (8f) in June. Goes handicapping after her lay-off and high on the shortlist.

Form: 322

(10)

Nigwa⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 81

7/1

Fair performer who got off the mark in 6-runner maiden at Ripon (9.8f) 51 days ago. That form has been fanked so she's much respected on her handicap debut.

Form: 221

(1)

My Silent Song¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79| D

14/1

Scored at Pontefract in June and has continued in good nick, second of 11 in 1m handicap there 16 days ago when left poorly placed. Well in the mix off the same mark.

Form: 103342

(3)

Professional Widow^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 73| D

66/1

Resumed winning ways at Haydock in June. Only ninth of 11 to Poet's Lady in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) 14 days ago but she's the sort to bounce back.

Form: 108539

Forecasts

Light Of Peace (13/8), Don't Tell Claire (7/2), Queenlet (6/1), Ashky (7/1), Nigwa (7/1), Poet's Lady (14/1), My Silent Song (14/1), Midheaven (40/1), Professional Widow (66/1), Ellade (100/1)

A few with chances but the vote goes to QUEENLET who was very strong at the finish when scoring over 7f at Mussleburgh and can defy a 6 lb penalty now reverted to 1m. My Silent Song wasn't seen to best effect when runner-up at Pontefract last time and heads the list of dangers, although Ashky, Nigwa and Light of Peace need shortlisting too.
