13/2

Yet to win but got back on track making her second handicap start when ¾-length third of 6 at Yarmouth (1m) in June. Denied a clear run on the turf here (7f) next time, before running respectably in cheekpieces when 2 lengths third of 5 at Leicester (1m) last month.

5/4

Made the most of a good opportunity when winning maiden at Beverley in May. Has run well in a trio of handicaps since, second of 5 at Newmarket last month, and she can give another good account making only second all-weather start. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 6-31632

Espanita^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Johnston| OR: 64

9/4

Fitted with a hood, gained a first handicap success at Wolverhampton (7f) in July and soon left behind a lesser effort when third of 10 at this course last week, despite more patient tactics not ideally suiting. Should stay this far and is a major player.

4/1

Gained a breakthrough success at Wolverhampton in July and shaped well when runner-up next 2 outings. Possibly unsuited by softer conditions upped to 1¼m back on turf when well held at Ffos Las 15 days ago, so no surprise to see her bounce back.

Forecasts

Lovers Leap (5/4), Buckland Belle (2/1), Espanita (9/4), Sunshine And Roses (4/1), Kaori (13/2), Post Rider (12/1), Lili Marleen (25/1)

ESPANITA has benefited from the fitting of a hood last 3 starts, doubling her tally at Wolverhampton and running well when third here 9 days ago, so she is fancied to resume winning ways. Buckland Belle arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, with Sunshine And Roses also considered.
