9/2
Returned to winning ways at Bath in July. 3/1, lesser effort when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. However, in good form previously so no surprise to see him bounce back.

Went backwards from his stable debut when last of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 11/2) in May. Has dropped to a career-low mark with cheekpieces applied on his return from 4 months off.

Successful in minor events at this C&D and Ffos Las in June. Again ran well when second of 10 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Leading contender.

Off the mark at Chepstow in June but below that level since, though hampered early when eighth of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft, 10/1) 15 days ago. Has eased back down in the weights at least.

Best effort this year when fifth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 80/1) 13 days ago. Has dropped further in the weights but more needed to take advantage.

Possibly needed the run after 7 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 13/2) in May, though also seemed unsuited by the track. Remains lightly raced but has further 4-month absence to overcome.

C&D winner. Run of good form halted when eighth of 11 in minor event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 16/1) 33 days ago. Long time without a win, but could leave his latest effort behind back at this venue.

Showed more than previously this year when fifth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Improvement required as she makes her turf debut.

10/1
Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Ran one of better races when fourth of 9 in minor event at Bath (5f, good, 33/1) 3 days ago, though again slowly away. Looks to be vulnerable once more.

Forecasts

Notre Maison (3/1), Thank The Lord (9/2), Haveagobeau (9/2), No Speed Limit (11/2), Kyber Crystal (6/1), Alya's Gold Award (10/1), Arzaak (16/1), My Kind Of Girl (18/1), Lucy Lightfoot (22/1)

Verdict

NOTRE MAISON has been in good form since the application of cheekpieces, getting off the mark at this C&D in June and running well here on her last 2 starts, so she is taken to resume winning ways. Thank The Lord could bounce back with Hollie Doyle in the saddle and is feared most, with Arzaak completing the shortlist.
