4/1
On the upgrade, winning two of her last three starts on the AW. Returns to turf on a career-high mark, but has to be respected.

5/1
Three 5f wins in a row since joining current trainer from John Quinn's yard. Carries a 6lb penalty for winning at Carlisle on Monday and has an extra furlong to contend with.

6/1
Improved in the autumn with victories at Chepstow and York. Opening handicap mark looks fair, but she has a wide draw to overcome.

5/1
Still a maiden after seven starts, but has been placed six times, including when well behind an easy winner at Doncaster last time. Plenty to do from her outside stall.

5/2
Windsor winner over 6f last summer and may have found 7f beyond her on her only subsequent start. Respected back in distance and in a handicap for the first time.

14/1
Winner over this trip on the Newcastle AW in February, but latest effort at Hamilton (5f) was disappointing. Back to the distance of her victory and makes her handicap bow.

50/1
Promise on more than one occasion in her juvenile season for Richard Hannon. Starts out for a new trainer and is probably best watched in a warm race.

14/1
Winning juvenile when trained by Tony Carroll, but two starts for current, in-form trainer have been slightly disappointing. Dropping down the weights so it is too soon to write her off.

16/1
Irish import who is still looking for her first win after 10 starts, but did run with a good deal of promise over 5f at Newcastle last time on her second run for this trainer. Each-way claims.

Forecasts

Lamya (5/2), Gold Filigree (4/1), Foxtrot Lady (5/1), Seen The Lyte (5/1), Awesome (6/1), May Symphonic (7/1), Shania Says (14/1), Meerpat (14/1), Stewardess (16/1), Glaceon (50/1)

Verdict

Gold Filigree will be a threat to all if translating her AW form to turf, but she has to prove herself on this surface and is passed over in favour of AWESOME, who has a high draw to overcome, but looks nicely handicapped on the back of two victories in the autumn. Seen The Lyte is not out of it despite stepping up in trip under a penalty, while May Symphonic and Lamya are interesting on their handicap debuts, while Stewardess, Shania Says and Meerpat have claims.
  1. Awesome
