2/1

Won twice during a consistent campaign last season and back to somewhere approaching her best when 7 lengths third over 25f at Cartmel a fortnight ago. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Enters calculations.

13/8

Opened her account at Fontwell in December and better than form when runner-up over 3¼m here and at Newton Abbot at the start of the summer. Freshened up since a poor run at Cartmel at the end of June and could bounce back.

Form: P8-7220

3/1

Runner-up 4 times on the bounce in points during the spring and stepped forward from her yard debut when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23f, good) in July. Went without cheekpieces when a remote fourth over C&D since but they return now.

Forecasts

All Under Control (13/8), Belles Benefit (2/1), Barely Famous (3/1), Hurst Hill (4/1), Wrappedinrubies (4/1), Mother Ship (11/2), Somebodycomegether (8/1), Midnight Gold (10/1), Needtoknow (25/1), Raincloud (50/1), Dontworrywegotthis (100/1)

BELLES BENEFIT was back on form when third at Cartmel a fortnight ago and could be the way to go in a change of headgear. Returning Donald McCain 6-y-o Wrappedinrubies is a danger, while Irish runner Mother Ship can go well again also.
