Forward-going type. Held on gamely to notch her fourth win of the season at Musselburgh (9f) in June. Seemingly found a busy spell catching up with her at Ayr last time and will likely find a few too good at the weights here, even if back on song following a short break.
|
Fairly useful sort who opened her account in 7-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m) and nearly made it a double under a penalty at Ripon (1¼m) last time. Has to be high on the shortlist in her current vein of form.
|
Low-mileage 3-y-o from family that improved well with age. Made a successful handicap debut here (1m) prior to getting back on the up with success at Beverley. Found wanting for a change of gear when 4½ lengths third of 5 at Nottingham (8.5f) latest, and this slightly longer trip should help.
|
Night Of Thunder filly who has made the frame on all 5 starts to date. Cheekpieces on when again going close (third won since) in a 7f all-weather maiden at Wolverhampton last time. Switch to a handicap demands more, though she is bred to appreciate this significantly longer trip.
|
Improved on her 2 juvenile runs when landing a Beverley maiden (8.5f) on return. Handicapper has given some much-needed respite following a couple of slow-starting efforts at Chester and York (7f) last month. Return to longer trip/calmer waters does no harm, either.
|
Form of debut third at Newmarket reads well. Opened her account at Chelmsford before chasing home a fairly useful one at Kempton final juvenile start. Returned from 9 months off/breathing operation with encouraging third at Redcar (1m) latest. Strong claims for trainer with good record in this race.
|
Looked to be going the wrong way for present yard last year. Plenty to prove back on the Flat following 13 months off.
|
Got off the mark at this course last autumn before progressing to win 5 of her next 6 at Newcastle. Back in fine heart this summer, coming from a less-than-ideal position (often starts slowly) when third in steadily-run handicap here (8.5f) last time.
|
Strong-travelling type has been firmly on the up since the switch to longer trips. Looked unlucky not to win over C&D earlier this month before rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick, scoring cosily by a length at Ripon 6 days ago. A double penalty may just be enough to end her winning sequence.

Forecasts
Polygram (3/1), Foxy Night (7/2), Saxon Grace (7/2), Wild Dahlia (6/1), Porth Eilian (6/1), Second Fiddle (8/1), Krissy (20/1), Thankfully (25/1), Sharona (100/1)
William Haggas has a 43% strike rate in handicaps at this course and having landed last year's corresponding event with an unexposed 3-y-o, his WILD DAHLIA is fancied to follow suit. In-form Polygram and thriving Saxon Grace appeal most of the remainder.
