Belisa³⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 83| CD

16/1

Dual course winner, including over this trip (from a 4lb lower mark) in June 2018; off the track for 12-months since pulling up early (injured) in the Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton Park; a massive performance is required in the circumstances.

Form: 1/1415P-

Monica Sheriff¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

1/2

Unexposed, hat-trick seeking Lawman filly who dips her toe into handicap company for the very first time; beat the frustrating Cape Cavalli by 3L in a Ffos Las novice (1m4f, good to soft) latest.

Form: 911

Albanita^v1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 76

3/1

1m Chelmsford maiden winner (Aug 2018); despite coming up short on three occasions, has acquitted herself reasonably well since introduced to handicapping (and upped in trip); the application of a first-time visor could feasibly eke out more.

Form: 471-333

(2)

First Dance³³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: G Lee| T: T P Tate| OR: 63

15/2

Broadly consistent, albeit isn't a frequent winner (2-21); 2lb lower than when making the frame at Redcar (1m1f, good to firm) in July, but didn't appear to stay this trip on her sole previous attempt at Wolverhampton last December.

Form: 544634

Forecasts

Monica Sheriff (1/2), Albanita (3/1), First Dance (15/2), Belisa (16/1)

The all too obvious angle is the improving and still unexposed handicap debutante Monica Sheriff. However, although getting the job done in the style of a promising young stayer in a Ffos Las novice latest, it's certainly worth acknowledging that she was merely beating a frustrating customer in the shape of Cape Cavalli. Therefore, at the projected odds a very marginal preference is for the Sir Mark Prescott-trained ALBANITA who receives a handy 7lb from the favourite. She could feasibly show further improvement for the application of a visor.
