25/1
Two wins from 6 runs this year. 28/1, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. Still, she looks vulnerable off present mark.

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Chester (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Certainly not without an each-way chance off the same mark here.

12/1
25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Denied a clear run at a crucial stage there and he's lurking on a dangerous mark.

12/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Possible excuse on that occasion (raced solo on the far rail) but improvement needed in any case.

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (10f, soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and will need to raise her game if she's to play a leading role in this contest.

9/1
20/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago. Perhaps she wasn't suited by the surface there and is worth a second look back on slow turf (good second on heavy ground on reappearance at Windsor in April).

14/1
C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in June. Last of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. This 9-y-o looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Off 7 months ahead of this turf debut and she needs to take a significant step forward.

Winner at Chester in June. 8/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. By no means discounted.

8/1
Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 11/8) 59 days ago, easing clear. 6 lb rise fair enough and she has to be taken very seriously indeed.

C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win here in July. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 9/2) 37 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again.

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 68 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs to raise her game a touch.

Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. Good third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 15/2) 21 days ago. May again find one or two too good.

Forecasts

Astronomica (5/2), Exigency (5/1), Pearly Star (15/2), Believe You Me (8/1), Lunarscape (9/1), Valkyrian (12/1), Astral Spirit (12/1), Flying Circus (12/1), Eponina (14/1), Silver Diva (25/1), Clipsham Gold (25/1), Musterion (33/1), Latest Edition (40/1), Motasaleeta (66/1)

Verdict

BELIEVE YOU ME opened her account in good style at Chepstow in July and, if in the same form here, it's highly unlikely that a 6 lb rise in the weights will be sufficient to prevent her from going in again. Valkyrian and Lunarscape are both interesting each-way alternatives off their reduced marks, while Exigency and Pearly Star can be expected to give good accounts.
