Verdict

A fiendishly-competitive closing sprint but preference is for MACHADADORP, who continued a theme of race-by-race progression when runner-up on handicap debut at Newmarket recently and Andrew Balding's filly is open to further improvement tackling a sprint trip for the first time. Bintaryana was value for extra when scoring at York last month, so she could be the one to offer most resistance, with Stormy Impact, Cinque Verde and Zen Diva just a handful of others worth considering, too.

Won 6f maiden at Nottingham on return in April and doubled her tally taking on her elders/quickly back at 6f in 12-runner handicap at York (good) last month, value for extra having been forced to manoeuvre around the principals. Nudged up just 2 lb and looks capable of better again. Shortlisted.

Verdict
Winner of maiden at Chester and novice at Wetherby over 7f in recent months. Bumped into one that proved a long way ahead of her mark when second of 9 on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month and she remains with plenty of potential trying a sprint trip for first time.

Verdict
Resumed her progress to make it 3 wins in her last 4 starts in 11-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f) earlier in the month, displaying a quirk or 2 but essentially doing well under the circumstances given how freely she raced. Remains unexposed and should get a more truly-run affair here.

Dual all-weather scorer who remained in good form but never looked like laying a glove on the winner when second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good to firm) last month. Winner that day has gone in again since and first-time cheekpieces go on to try and eke out that bit extra.

Verdict
Three-time winner who ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Epsom Dash (5f, soft) early last month, despite finding things happening too quickly. Backed that up when fifth of 9 at Chester (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks later and she lurks on a handy mark reunited with Warren Fentiman.

Showed improved form after a breathing operation when scoring easily at Pontefract (6f) in April. Consistent in defeat thereafter and turned in her best effort since when second of 8 at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Further progress needed to add to her tally.

Produced a big career best under ideal conditions when winning an 11-runner event at Newmarket (6f, good) in May by 6½ lengths. Unable to back that progress up at listed level later in the month (went off hard) but freshened up since and can feature returned to this company.

Belatedly built on the promise she showed on debut when making all in a C&D novice last October. Amiss when pulled up on nursery bow the following month (finished lame) but made a winning return/yard debut in 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f) 11 days ago. Entitled to have more to offer.

Given a slightly longer break than last time and proved just about as good as ever in recording a first success away from Windsor in 7-runner event at Salisbury (6f, good) 4 weeks ago, all out to hold on. Nudged up only 2 lb and did run well here when a close third early last month.

Musselburgh scorer in April and well and truly knocking on the door, runner-up for fourth time in her last 5 runs in 5-runner event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Not without each-way claims from marginally out of the weights.

Much improved when winning a pair of handicaps at up to 7f in May/June. Anchored by 4 lb higher mark on both subsequent starts, though wasn't seen to best effect when third of 6 at Chester (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, losing ground out of the widest stall. Faces a stiff task in this.

Thrived for current yard last season, notching her fourth success at Bath in September. Ran a cracker on return when short-head second of 14 in 5f listed event there but has failed to back up that improvement in 3 handicaps since. Assessor eases his grip, but others look stronger.

Low-mileage 3-y-o who doubled her tally with success at Chester (6f, good) in May. Wasn't disgraced though her effort rather flattened out when fourth of 9 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month. Return to 6f in her favour but vulnerable to less exposed types.
