10/3 |
Lil Guff
Impressed from the front at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month for an eighth career success; wasn't beaten too far under a penalty (this mark) at Southwell and she's better on turf.

Miss Show Off
Novice winner; 0-4 in handicaps but was close up in the first at Sandown (5f, good) and she never got the breaks at all when behind Lil Guff at Bath two weeks ago; much better expected from her here.

- J Mitchell / R Varian

11/2 |
Second Name
All three runs on the AW; unbeaten in novices (6f/5f) but was noticeably weak in the market ahead of handicap debut at Lingfield (5f) and never threatened; bit to prove on the back of that.

Liosa
Has won three of his last four races and did it easily after a break at Kempton (6f) off this very mark; rated 8lb higher on the AW but perhaps a better horse now than when last seen on turf.

Desdemona
Placed in her first two races before getting off the mark by 3l in a 5f novice at Lingfield (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); that was in July but looks well in on that form given the runner-up has progressed; bought for 11,000gns out of Tom Clover's yard.

Joy Choi
Has been off for 12 months but she's able when fresh and a third career win last time at Chepstow (5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) had been coming; this drier ground holds no fears and by no means dismissed.
