Comment: Done most racing and winning on the AW but has a victory and a third to her name in two starts here and handles fast ground; consistent round Wolverhampton of late and, while there's little wiggle room off this mark, she needs considering.

Comment: Best known for her Chepstow work but goes well here too (runner-up in this race 12 months ago) and has won on firm ground; closely involved in recent Chepstow starts and will be 2lb higher from tomorrow, so her claims are obvious.

Miss Ayala

Comment: Didn't progress for Gay Kelleway last year but made an encouraging start for new yard at Windsor 18 days ago (5f, good to firm), not seeing much daylight from over 1f out; dropped 2lb and she's one to take seriously.

1 tip

Comment: First two runs for Grace Harris had threatened better and she gained her first handicap success when always prominent against the stands' rail at Chepstow on Wednesday (5f, good); Jack Doughty's claim offsets some of the penalty and she began life in handicaps off a mark in the 70s so there's still some scope there.

1 tip
