11/1

Bright start in handicaps, off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (10f) in June. Has run to a similar level in defeat tackling 1½m both starts since and longer trip needs to unlock a little more progress. Cheekpieces back on.

5/4

Model of consistency since headgear was applied, landing a Hamilton maiden before following up back in handicap company at Bath (14f) 3 starts back. Hard to knock her runner-up efforts both starts since and with forecast conditions fine, she's a leading player again.

7/1

Improved performer this year, gaining third success of the campaign at Musselburgh (14f) in August. Shrugged off lesser effort without being seen to best effect when second at Hamilton (12f) latest and this step back up in trip a likely plus.

9/1

Ffos Las novice winner (at 7.3f) last summer who stepped up on reappearance run on AW when runner-up at Sandown (9f) in May. Respectable efforts at up to 11.6f subsequently and she's now operating from career-low mark. Up in trip.

Alchemystique^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 57

14/1

Flat/hurdles winner who ran up to her best in this sphere when runner up here (12.3f, heavy) in June. However, not at anything like the same level either outing since and she's operating from 2 lb out of the weights on this occasion.

Form: 5/23270

Surrey Belle^h³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: H Morrison| OR: 64

9/4

Golden Horn filly who has made the frame all 3 starts in handicaps, albeit shade disconcerting the step up to 1½m failed to bring about improvement when third at Ffos Las 5 weeks ago. Still, it remains early days and interesting connections opt to step her up further in trip.

DREAMS ADOZEN has proved to be a model of consistency since the headgear was applied, winning twice before solid placed efforts over C&D/Catterick in recent weeks. She earns the vote to come out on top, with Surrey Belle and Tafsir fancied to give Charlie Johnston's filly most to think about.
