7/1
Just one win from 24 starts on turf and although this drop in grade will help, she does appear to be on a high mark at present.

5/1
Came right back to form with a dominant all-the-way win at Doncaster but struggled in better company at York off 5lb higher. May need some help from the handicapper but drop back in class will help.

4/1
Progressive in first three starts but looked unsuited by the surface on AW and handicap debut. Not one to give up on yet and could easily bounce back to form on turf.

14/1
Has struggled off her revised mark since her Leicester win earlier in the campaign. The strength of that form was questionable and although eased 2lb she remains 5lb higher than that win.

6/1
Unkucky over 7f at Chelmsford two runs back and went close again over the same C&D in a good race. Tough filly has to be respected off her current mark and this easier surface will help back on turf. Looks a leading contender.

40/1
Took advantage of a reduced mark to win two of her last four starts and unsuited by longer trip and soft ground on her latest run at Goodwood. Will face competition for the lead and present mark makes life tough in this higher grade.

4/1
Has found life tough in handicaps since winning two of her first three starts. Proving disappointing and although slowly dropping in the weights, others are preferred over this trip.

25/1
Returned to action after a wind operation and almost a year off to win a novice event over 6f at Hamilton but was never a factor on handicap debut over the same C&D. Hard to make a case for in an even tougher contest.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-4| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR:  73
9/2
Has dropped back to a workable mark and was much better when third at this course. Is clearly soft ground dependent and although more is required in this stronger race, any significant rain would bring her into the argument.

Forecasts

Right Direction (4/1), Angels (4/1), Queen Penn (9/2), Super Florence (9/2), Florenza (5/1), Toy Theatre (6/1), Summer Icon (7/1), Cavatina (14/1), Grise Lightning (25/1), Miss Sheridan (40/1)

Verdict

Florenza, Miss Sheridan and Super Florence should ensure there's plenty of pace on in a tight contest The latter is very consistent and looks sure to run her race again providing she doesn't get involved in a pace battle. TOY THEATRE can hopefullly get a nice sit in conditions that should suit and she's overdue a win. Right Direction is still open to improvement back on turf with her win coming on easier ground and the synthetic surface didn't suit on handicap debut.
