Emphatic winner of a big-field handicap here (10f) last spring and runner-up on 3 occasions thereafter. Well below best in listed race on final start and similarly not figured in 2 starts at up to 2m so far this term. Drop back in trip may help following a break. Tongue strap on.

8/1
Useful dual winner over 10f last season, latterly at Ascot handicap (10f) in September. Slow starts didn't help on final 2 starts but stepped up on her reappearance run when keeping on fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (10f) 3 weeks ago. Increase in trip could unlock further progress.

Useful form despite just having a maiden win to her name and she arrives having run creditably when sixth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (10f, soft) 7 weeks ago. Eased 3 lb ahead of this and interesting if this marked step up in trip helps now.

16/1
Three-time winner on AW but proved herself fully effective on turf as she did best of the older fillies behind a 3-y-o handicap debutante when second at Ascot (10f) in May. Next run best excused but she wasn't at her best back at aforementioned venue 7 days ago.

Capitalised on drop in grade/falling mark when successful on seasonal bow at Nottingham (14f) in June. Unable to land a telling blow in 2 quick runs thereafter last month and suspicion the handicapper has her about right.

Improved a little upped in trip this season, resuming winning ways at Doncaster (14.5f) early on last month. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, heavy) followed 5 weeks ago and no surprise to see her give another good account.

10/1
Confirmed promise of her previous start when resuming winning ways in good style at Kempton (12f) and she run creditably back up in grade when third at Windsor (11.4f) 3 weeks ago, that despite taking a strong hold. Clearly in good heart but needs to settle better back up in trip.

Thriving daughter of Mastercraftsman who took her season's tally to 3 wins from 4 starts in 5-runner Newmarket handicap (12f) 20 days ago, deserving of extra credit given where she was positioned. Up another 5 lb but increase in trip could unlock further progress.

From a good family and made a winning start over 7f at Newmarket last August. Only fourth of 5 in listed event here on return in May and seemingly not 100% when eased off last of 5 in handicap at first-named venue 20 days ago. Too soon to write off for top stable.

Landed back-to-back small field Southwell handicaps in the spring and soft ground may have caught her out at Doncaster next time. Not beaten at all far when fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) 22 days ago and this even longer trip could well suit.

Showed a lot more of what she's about when runner-up on qualifying run at Bath (10f) in May and built on that despite not looking the finished article with a cosy success on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 4 weeks ago. Lots to like upped further in trip with cheekpieces enlisted.

Forecasts

Divine Presence (11/4), Mrs Twig (16/5), Plus Point (5/1), Our Golden One (5/1), Elegancia (8/1), Aiming High (10/1), Attila The Honey (16/1), Single (16/1), Moogie (16/1), Mysterious Love (16/1), Greysful Storm (28/1), Meribella (33/1)

Verdict

DIVINE PRESENCE has progressed with each start to date, opening her account on handicap debut despite not looking nowhere near the finished article at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 4 weeks ago. In top hands and open to further progress, she's very much of interest again in first-time cheekpieces. Mrs Twig has thrived this season and may not have done improving yet. Elegancia and Aiming High are others to consider in the finale.
