Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 63| BF| C

9/4

Course winner. Sent off favourite for Lingfield AW reappearance 5 weeks ago but folded tamely after racing too freely. Needs to settle better this time.

Form: 12452-7

Versatile³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: M J Attwater| OR: 63

14/1

Fair maiden but below par on his Kempton reappearance 37 days ago. Needs to have come on a fair bit.

Form: 58435-0

Fighting Queen⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 55| C

7/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (14/1) at this course (1m, firm) 9 days ago. Well on top at the finish, suggesting this longer trip could suit her even better. Leading claims.

Form: 5861

Voix De Bocelli¹⁴

1/1

In good form back on the Flat, winning 8-runner handicap at Brighton (1¼m, good to firm) 14 days ago. Should remain very competitive off 6 lb higher.

Forecasts

Voix De Bocelli (1/1), Darysina Gold (9/4), Fighting Queen (7/2), Crafter (11/2), Versatile (14/1)

The style of FIGHTING QUEEN's 1m course win last week suggests this step up to 1¼m will suit and she's taken to defy a penalty. Recent Brighton winner Voix de Bocelli looks the obvious danger.
