Selected odds by:
Struck in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) last September; low-key this term (0-2), although on paper this race does represent a slightly easier option (Class 5).
Polytrack specialist (0-11 on turf); hasn't raced on the green stuff since finishing sixth of seven at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last August; first start overall for 157 days; safer to look elsewhere.
Turf and AW winner (7f); has produced broadly similar performances on both starts so far this calendar year - weakening fifth of eight to Dashing Roger at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) latest.
Three-time Doncaster winner (7f) who is struggling to recapture her peak form; the handicapper continues to cut her some slack - has eased a further 5lb since her last start (here, 1m).
By Dubawi; took a slight step forward when finishing a well held second (Top Class Angel immediately behind) to Risk Taker on C&D (soft) handicap debut; is shortlisted on that basis.
Knocked at the door on her turf debut at Newmarket (7f, good) three starts back; has twice fluffed the start since, including on the AW at Kempton; shouldn't be dismissed just yet.
Five-race maiden who doesn't exactly appeal as a winner in waiting; soon on the back foot from the two furlong pole at Doncaster (6f) latest; first start over 7f.
Finished fifth (to the William Haggas-trained Cold Front) in a C&D maiden (good to soft) last month; trainer sends out a regular supply of winners at this track; merits a basic market check on handicap debut.

Forecasts
Tacitly (11/10), Top Class Angel (9/4), Lily Like (4/1), Gometra Ginty (13/2), Blausee (13/2), Reviette (12/1), Roman Spinner (16/1), Florenza (16/1), Filo's Flyer (28/1)
The recent Newmarket scorer TOP CLASS ANGEL and Tacitly are evenly matched on previous C&D form. Roger Charlton's filly is theoretically handicapped to have a slight edge, but Richard Hannon's charge has the all-important winning experience to draw upon. She displayed a tenacious attitude on the July Course at Newmarket (1m) and may prove capable of doubling-up over this shorter trip. Lily Like could also make her mark, assuming that she's able to break from the stalls in a more timely fashion than of late.
