Off time: 16:21 | Winning time: 1m 28.17s

Hilltop²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 69| BF| D

11/4

Winner at Lingfield in August. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, firm, 15/8) 26 days ago. Return to this trip looks a good move and she's a strong each-way candidate.

Form: 356-216

(1)

Highfield Sunshine²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 69

13/2

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 25/1) 23 days ago. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if she puts her best foot forward, albeit this 8-race maiden will probably find one or two too good once again.

Form: 5-22305

(4)

Spirit Of Jenny²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 67

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (25/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Place possibilities off the same mark.

Form: 2423

Autumn Rose^h²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 25/1) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 216965

(9)

Gemini Star⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62

18/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 79 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 063-387

(10)

Believe In Lies¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: T D Barron| OR: 61| D

7/1

Promising individual. Improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm, 15/2) 16 days ago. Further progress likely and she's a key player up just 2 lb.

Form: 4761

(3)

Minshaar¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Appeals as the type to do better now handicapping and she's one to consider.

Form: 634

(11)

Dolly's Delight⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 60| BF| D

7/1

Winner at Beverley in July. 10/3, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 47 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 66-0316

(2)

Dream Illusion^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 60| D

4/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in May. 11/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at the same course (7.2f) 17 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Place possibilities.

Form: 136554

(5)

Saidha¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56

16/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. Will need to find improvement from somewhere if she's to open her account in this contest.

Forecasts

Hilltop (11/4), Dream Illusion (4/1), Highfield Sunshine (13/2), Dolly's Delight (7/1), Believe In Lies (7/1), Spirit Of Jenny (9/1), Minshaar (12/1), Just Queen High (12/1), Saidha (16/1), Autumn Rose (18/1), Gemini Star (18/1)

Having taken a step forward when striking at Carlisle recently, BELIEVE IN LIES could make light of her 2 lb rise and follow up here. Hilltop is likely to benefit from this drop back in trip and she is second choice ahead of Minshaar and Spirit of Jenny.
