Selected odds by:
Produced best performance when second of 10 at Wolverhampton (80/1) in April but sixth of 8 in classified race at Wolverhampton (16/1) 79 days ago when racing freely. Capable from this sort of mark but tendency to race freely may continue to hinder chances.
|
Modest performer in AW handicaps finished 12th of 13 at Windsor (50/1) following a break 33 days ago, raced off the pace and never on terms. Shows little to suggest improvement is coming
|
Out of sorts when 11th of 12 at Yarmouth (80/1) 13 days ago and continues to struggle in all recent races, now without a win in 21 consecutive starts.
|
Won a classified event at Wolverhampton (16/1) in June and has previous C&D success having won this race last year. Sixth of 8 in a handicap at Yarmouth (14/1) 31 days ago when taking a strong hold. Had been in good form prior to that and is worth another chance returning to the all-weather.
|
Won a 10f conditions race at Yarmouth in June, knuckling down well and staying on to lead close home. Fifth of 12 in handicap at Leicester over 10f (10/3) 18 days ago, hit a flat spot before keeping on. In form and should give another good account back on the all-weather.
|
Finished third at Lingfield and confirmed she has a bit of ability when sixth of 10 in handicap there (12/1) 16 days ago, when unable to sustain effort. Will need to take a step forward returning to the all-weather.
|
Runner-up twice in summer but proved a disappointment when seventh of 10 as well-backed 2/1 favourite in a 11.6f Lingfield conditions race 16 days ago. In the mix if she can recapture previous form.
|
Has struggled in recent handicaps, finishing last of 10 at Ffos Las (40/1) 15 days ago while wearing blinkers for first time. Blinkers now removed for this step up in trip but arrives with questions to answer.
|
Races off a basement mark having showed little in three maidens/novices over 7f. Finished second of 6 in a 10f handicap at Ripon (15/2) 30 days ago, showing much improved form when upped in trip and ridden more positively. Looks interesting at this level returning to the all-weather.
|
Shown little ability in four starts, finishing ninth of 10 in a handicap at Windsor (80/1) 33 days ago.
|
Has shown very little in four starts, latest on stable debut finishing eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (66/1) 185 days ago.
|
Hasn't shown much in 5 starts and was well held in 10th of 13 in a handicap at Chepstow (25/1) 14 days ago. Longer trip may suit and she'll need to improve for it.

Forecasts
Zafaan (15/8), Foinix (5/2), Aoife's Thunder (4/1), Star Of St Louis (5/1), Peter Piper (7/1), Madrigal Moment (15/2), Sunset In Paris (10/1), Dors Delight (18/1), Invincible Storm (18/1), Stormy Lady (25/1), A Day In Bloom (33/1), Muhib (33/1), Making Moves (80/1), Master Milan (80/1), Primrose Maid (150/1)
MADRIGAL MOMENT showed vastly improved form when upped in trip and ridden more positively at Ripon, finishing a close second. She's taken to go one better dropped into classified company, with last year's winner of this race Sunset In Paris rating the main danger. Zafaan has solid recent form at this level and should give another good account.
