Selected odds by:
Improved last season, producing a career-best on her final start, when scoring over this trip at Yarmouth. Not as good this term, but second twice when somewhere near that form. More needed if she is to end an eight-race losing run.
1-13 on the Flat, the win being in 2015. Respectable efforts on his last three starts from 1m3f-1m6f. Drops 1lb and more needed, but each-way player.
Last win came here over 1m4f (soft) in 2015. Not always consistent, but has run well in defeat three times this season, including when going close over this trip at Redcar last time. Visor swapped back for cheekpieces. More needed, but has claims.
Scored here (1m4f, good to firm) last year. This is his first run from the same mark since then, but he has run well several times from slightly higher in the interim. Unraced beyond 1m4f, so has stamina to prove, but not ruled out.
Broke turf duck at the 19th attempt over this trip and under this jockey at Redcar last month, for which he has gone up 1lb. Unable to back up that effort over 1m5f last time in an amateur event. Can't rule out, but carries risks on this surface.
Scored at both Brighton (1m2f) and Leicester (1m4f) (both good to firm) earlier in the season. Held from 1lb higher than today on both starts since. Step up in trip worth a try, but more needed.
Mainly in good form both over hurdles and on the Flat recently. Scored at Hamilton (1m5f, good) in June, and went very close at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last time. Up another 3lb, but should be very competitive.
Not without promise in novice company, but last of five beaten 22L on handicap debut last time. Drop in trip and 5lb in the handicap, with visor fitted for this race. Market check probably prudent, though likely to be best watched.
Well held in all of his last three starts and from 6lb 'wrong' others are readily preferred.
Has shown little so far, including on handicap debut from 3lb higher last time. Best watched until he reveals more.
Forecasts
Mitcd (3/1), Swordbill (6/1), Hope Is High (6/1), Sellingallthetime (7/1), Careyanne (7/1), Swansway (9/1), Searching (9/1), The Resdev Way (11/1), Gallus (22/1), Simmo's Partytrick (66/1)
Modest fayre, where Hope Is High would have a chance if able to produce her best and Searching has a chance of making the frame. Sellingallthetime is another with claims, while neither Swansway nor The Resdev Way are ruled out. However, MITCD is in the form of her life on the Flat and might just prove capable of winning again.
