Much improved when getting off the mark in 7f maiden here in January and followed up on handicap debut over C&D the following month. Shaped well taking on older rivals for the first time when fourth at Windsor last month after 7 months off. One to be interested in.

Successful 3 times this year, twice over 7f at Wolverhampton and adding to her tally at Lingfield (1m) in September. Close runner-up on last 2 starts and should remain competitive.

Left Miss Natalia Lupini and improved when third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 5/1) 19 days ago, keeping on well under hands-and-heels riding. Makes tapeta debut and any positive market vibes should be noted.

5-time C&D winner who found run of in-the-frame efforts come to an end in soft ground 12-runner handicap at Ayr 25 days ago. Can't be ignored back round here.

10/3
Off the mark at fifth attempt for David O'Meara when winning at Southwell in August. Shaped very well when neck second of 10 to Dalamara over C&D 11 days ago, not ideally placed in modestly-run race. Has to be taken seriously in bid to go one better.

C&D novice winner in February and generally maintained form for former yard after. However, has been well beaten on last 2 starts, latest at Southwell on debut for new yard, and has a bit to prove at present.

Much improved following switch to Ed Bethell, landing back-to-back 1m handicaps at Hamilton/Ripon in the summer. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Respected.

Showed improved form making handicap debut when second of 4 at Thirsk in July, going close to reeling in one who had the run of the race. Well held both starts since and is hard to make a case for as a result.

Bagged handicaps at Pontefract in June and Nottingham in July. Placed twice at Redcar since but ran below form there last time. Is yet to prove effective on all-weather and can be passed over, even off this lower mark.

Made a promising start for this yard when switched to front-running tactics and finishing placed in back-to-back handicaps at Ayr in July. Not in same form since and bounce back required on all-weather debut.

All 3 successes have come over C&D, including twice this season. Quickly back to form when second of 9 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft, 12/1) 9 days ago. Place claims.

Forecasts

Maria Da Silva (5/2), Sailor's Return (10/3), Second Fiddle (4/1), Goomah (9/2), Espanita (7/1), Sassy Glory (20/1), Carmel Valley (22/1), Amber Hamur (22/1), Leelawadee (40/1), Bay Dream Believer (50/1), Silky Lass (50/1)

Verdict

SAILOR'S RETURN was unlucky last time and can go one better with the forecast strong pace expected to suit her run style. The in-form Espanita should be thereabouts again, with Maria Da Silva taken to see out the places.
