17/2
Irish raider with an excellent record in Scotland. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (15/2) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago, holding on gamely. Back down markedly in trip but she went with plenty of zest on that occasion.

6/4
Promising individual with a perfect career record, improving another chunk when completing hat-trick in 10-runner handicap at Kempton (7f), well on top finish. Off 8 months but revised mark looks very lenient.

Relished step up to 7f when winning at Haydock in May and having been raised 3 lb, she didn't do a lot wrong when second of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago. Another bold bid looks very likely.

13/2
Lightly-raced 4-y-o who got off the mark on handicap debut at Haydock last summer. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago but she needs to raise her game to trouble a couple of these.

Thriving on racing this year, recording win number 6 from 8 runs this year (all over 6f) in 8-runner handicap at Hamilton 18 days ago, just holding on. Up 3 lb in a deeper band of handicap but she demands respect in her current mood.

10/1
Musselburgh specialist who shaped quite well returned to that venue when fourth at the start of the month. Failed to build on that when fifth of 6 in handicap (17/2) at Haydock (6f, firm) 9 days ago.

Forecasts

Mezzo Soprano (6/4), Mereside Diva (11/4), Zapphire (13/2), Catherine Chroi (15/2), Fiver Friday (17/2), Rock Melody (10/1)

Verdict

MEZZO SOPRANO rewarded the patient approach of connections in spades during the second half of 2023, winning all 3 starts, and this well-bred filly rather stands out on profile ahead of this reappearance. Mereside Diva is more exposed but seems sure to give it a good go, as should the thriving Catherine Chroi.
