A compact handicap which features the returning C&D winner Hameem for whom a 3lb rise in the weights looks to be perfectly fair. If fit enough to do herself justice off a 236-day absence she'll almost certainly be on the premises for Gosden and Crowley. However, there are others to consider with the benefit of a recent run, namely Medalla De Oro (now based with Tom Clover) and the Peter Hedger-trained C'EST NO MOUR. The selection endured a barren spell in 2018 but does have the all important winning mentality instilled as demonstrated the previous summer (four wins), and crucially he posted a cracking seasonal reappearance at Windsor (1m3f+) recently.
