Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: Shay Farmer(5)| T: S Spencer| OR:  60| D
Ended last season on a low note and has failed to fire in 2 runs back this year but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her fare much better in this grade under a change of tactics from a good draw.

Headstrong sort who notched a third win of the year in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7f) last week, just holding on. Likely to find life tougher under a 5-lb penalty.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Elliott(3)| T: T Davidson| OR:  54| CD
3-time C&D winner who ran respectably when 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Classy Clarets in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, paying for giving closest chase to the winner at a strong pace. Dangerous to dismiss back at this venue.

Remains with just one win to her name but returned to form back at 6f when second of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (good to firm) 7 days ago, albeit well drawn and outbattled by the winner. Remains to be seen if able to back that up.

Forecasts

Classy Clarets (9/4), Filey Beach (11/4), Indy's Angel (9/2), Coconut Bay (9/2), Saisons D'Or (10/1), Jenni (20/1), Without Delay (25/1), Summer Rain (25/1), Groundsman (25/1)

Verdict

JENNI has shown little in 2 runs back this year but has eased markedly in the weights and could fare appreciably better in this lower grade under a change of tactics from a good draw. Filey Beach and Coconut Bay head the dangers.
