Built on early-season promise when winning at Nottingham in July prior to going close off this mark over C&D the following month. Looked ready for a return to this trip when beaten 4½ lengths in a higher grade at Redcar (1¼m). A third course success could be in the offing.
|
Landed a third career success in this grade at Beverley (1¼m) in May. Posted another solid effort when 2 lengths third in a selling handicap over the same C&D latest. Tries this intermediate trip for the first time, having previously seemed stretched by 1½m.
|
Four-time all-weather winner at Wolverhampton (also gone close here). Largely remained in good form following a first turf victory at Doncaster (1½m) in June, however, he ran no sort of race faced with soft ground for the first time in a while at York on latest start.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped quite well on all-weather/stable debut and again when smooth-travelling third at Chester (1½m) last month. Reportedly hung off the bridle when 3 lengths fourth at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) subsequently. Still early days for current yard and unexposed on this surface, too.
|
Hold-up type who belatedly got off the mark at Kempton in August before following up at Ffos Las. Has been shaping up well in a couple of C&D starts more recently and likely in good enough form to win from this sort of mark if things drop kindly.
|
Landed the odds in course novice last autumn. Readily opened her account in handicaps at Nottingham in early-July and right back to her best when smooth-travelling second at Nottingham (1¼m) latest. Well worth another go over this slightly longer trip, too.
|
Won successive Lingfield (all-weather) handicaps in December/April. Back on her latest winning mark when creditable 2¾-length fourth of 6 on return to that track last time. May again find a few too good at the weights.
|
Winless since completing a 5-timer in June last year. Failed to be revived by first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Bath (1¼m) latest. May again be able to get to the lead but doesn't look in the form to capitalise.
|
Fairly useful winner of 1½m maiden in France. Long way below that level in 5 starts for current yard, though latest 7-lengths fifth at Newcastle wasn't totally devoid of promise. Not one to totally write off from 3 lb lower.
|
Hasn't really got competitive since ending a long losing run back against her own sex over C&D in March (now 3 lb lower). Failed to back up a more promising effort when trailing the field over a longer trip at Goodwood (1¾m) latest.
|
Snapped a lengthy losing run in a lower grade over C&D last month. Only ran to similar level when 1¼ lengths fourth of 6 at Wolverhampton (1½m) last time. Races off the same mark in a slightly deeper race here.

Forecasts
Celestias Comet (10/3), Optician (4/1), Sigliosa (5/1), Flightofthephoenix (11/2), Everyoneknowsadave (15/2), Mao Shang Wong (9/1), Bint Al Daar (10/1), Golspie (18/1), Rodoya (33/1), Twilight Moon (33/1), Pomme Pomme (40/1)
Two-time course winner EVERYONEKNOWSADAVE looks the percentage call in a competitive-looking handicap. The dangers are headed by Flightofthephoenix and Sigliosa, who have both shaped with promise in defeat recently, with Celestias Comet another to consider.
