Live Each Day is highly respected after her two handicaps, the latter over 1m here, but preference is for the penalised BAY OF DREAMS (nap) who can carry on the good work with today's step up in trip if her brother is anything to go by. Girls Night Out and Stardrop are handicap newcomers who need a check for any confidence behind them in the betting.[Richard Austen]

Two wins and two places from her four races since upped to about 1m/1m1f for handicaps; totally in charge through the last 3f at Nottingham (1m, good; unraced on softer) eight days ago; sister to a useful 9.4f-1m4f winner, so this trip should not present a problem; big player under a penalty.
Different proposition with tongue-tie enlisted on handicap debut when finishing well to score by a nose at Southwell (7f, AW) in April; didn't get the clearest of runs up the rails here (1m, good) when beaten a head 16 days ago, pair clear; this extra 2f is more of a worry than latest 3lb rise, but she's clearly in serious calculations.
Seven-race maiden who has not progressed; he did manage third of seven off this reduced mark when cheekpieces were added here (11.4f, good) 16 days ago, making most and clear at one stage, but may well prove vulnerable again.
Hooded first two starts, tongue tied latest; last of four on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March; beaten much further in his two runs since (1m2f/1m) but gelded since and this 160,000gns yearling, who's well related, now makes his handicap debut off a lowly mark; needs a market check.
Turned over at short odds by sole rival on debut and has shown severely regressive form in her four races since, in 7f/1m handicaps on last two outings; cheekpieces (worn on second start) return.
Hinted at promise as 2yo but backward steps in three middle-distance handicaps; the latest was at Lingfield on Saturday over 11.6f, which may have stretched him but confidence in him can't be that great back at 1m2f here either.
Bits of form when unplaced in five runs for Ed Walker last year; tailed off when 66-1 for her stable debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good) early last month; today's tongue-tie is new but she's not easily recommended.
Well beaten all three starts as 2yo, albeit with fourth of seven to a runaway winner at Goodwood (1m1f, heavy) on final occasion appearing to be much improved form; sister to 1m2f-1m6f Saratoga Gold (useful at his best over 1m4f) which prompts some extra interest on this handicap/seasonal debut.
Best 2yo form would see him thereabouts but he did not reproduce it when back for two handicaps (1m, good to firm) this season; new trip but he's not bred for this far.
Has shown ability on AW across her three starts, most recently 8l third of six in Lingfield novice (1m2f) six weeks ago; this handicap debut provides a much more realistic opportunity than that.
Big odds when finishing at or towards the back last November/December over 7f, 1m and 1m3f; market strength would seem the best guide on this seasonal/handicap debut.
