Recorded her first win on turf when making all the running at Lingfield (6f, good) in May, and followed that with a respectable fourth at Brighton. Held over 6f since, might prefer some rain coming back in trip.

Has just won once since his maiden success at Newcastle in 2016 when a winner of a three-runner affair at Bath last year. Some promise shown recently, including last time at Doncaster, and eased another 2lb.

9/2
Yet to win on turf but has twice banged at the door over this C&D lately, including five days ago when 1½L fourth of six. Runs from the same mark and liable to make another challenge.

0-9 in handicap company so far and so probably best watched despite the fact she won her maiden over 5f on quick ground.

6/1
Won here over 6f on debut for this trainer in 2016, hasn't added to tally since however. Last year was one to forget (four poor runs) and needs the wind surgery undergone since to have a big effect on return from 316 days off.

6/1
Twice a winner here last summer over 5f/6f, the only two career wins in 12 starts. Not really looked like winning so far this term, but running sound races. 3lb above previous win-mark if return here sparks desire.

Won back-to-back races towards the back-end of last year, has run respectably at Lingfield and Bath over similar trips since returning from break (also run twice on the AW) and entitled to mount a challenge from dropping mark.

Maiden, some positive form so far this season both on turf and AW, latest effort brought 1L second at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago and liable to go close now if cheekpieces bring about some further improvement back on grass.

Forecasts

Wiff Waff (9/2), Desert Sport (9/2), The Lacemaker (5/1), Defining Moment (6/1), Fang (6/1), Entertaining Ben (7/1), Compton Poppy (8/1), Indian Warrior (8/1)

17:05 Yarmouth - 31 July 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Indian Warrior went close on the AW at Lingfield last time and has also posted some positive runs on turf, he's entitled to be on the premises here and also has first-time headgear that may further boost his claims. Desert Sport and Entertaining Ben are coming down in the weights and are well worth monitoring in a winnable race but the vote is going to WIFF WAFF. Stuart Williams' charge has run well twice over C&D recently and surely his time is approaching.
