Below best in listed company latest but had created a good impression when winning Nottingham handicap (6.1f) previously and remains on a workable mark.

Took her form up a notch in recent starts, scoring at Carlisle (6.9f) and Pontefract (6f, good to soft). 7 lb higher now but another bold bid looks on the cards.

Dual winner as a 2-yo who ran about as well as could be expected when sixth of 16 in listed race at Bath (5f) on return in April. However, below that level at Newmarket next time and may prefer quicker ground.

Fairly useful filly who shaped very well when fifth in Sandringham at Royal Ascot in June, faring best of those ridden prominently. Drop back in trip may suit (strong traveller) and remains with potential.

Completed hat-trick in January, winning at Southwell (twice) and Newcastle. Run respectably in defeat more recently but others look better treated.

Below best at Newmarket latest but has already won 4 times (at up to 7.2f) this season and remains feasibly treated.

Run with credit in recent starts, latest when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days ago. Ought to go well again, although suspicion remains a greater test of stamina would suit.

Won sole start as a juvenile and acquitted herself well in first 2 outings this term, making the frame in York listed race on penultimate outing. Disappointed latest, however, and bit to prove stepped up in trip on handicap debut.

Won twice at this sort of trip last summer and returned to form when close second at Windsor in May. Couldn't back that up at York since but is below her last winning mark and could be a player.

Made encouraging return in Lingfield listed race in March but below that level since, including on Newmarket handicap bow last month. Others more appealing.

Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) who has acquitted herself well in a couple of competitive handicaps for new connections this summer, latest when fifth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Warrants respect.

Lightly-raced filly who shaped better than previously this term when fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7f, soft) 10 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Drop back in trip looks a good move but percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Consistent sort who turned in a rare poor effort at Brighton last time. Better expected here but isn't the easiest to win with these days.

Forecasts

Kitai (9/4), Sophia's Starlight (11/2), Funny Story (6/1), Executive Decision (9/1), Candle Of Hope (10/1), Crazy Luck (10/1), Bonny Angel (12/1), Minnetonka (16/1), Granary Queen (18/1), Mottisfont (18/1), Silent Words (20/1), Glorious Angel (33/1), Elvenia (40/1)

Verdict

KITAI arrives in a rich vein of form, and with conditions to suit is fancied to complete her hat-trick in the finale. The drop back to sprinting could suit Candle of Hope and she is feared most, whilst Executive Decision can also make her presence felt.
