Verdict

STARSONG ran well in this grade when runner-up at Pontefract on her penultimate start and she is taken to build on that effort at the second attempt from what is a workable mark. The Feminine Urge is also well treated on last season's form and gets the vote for second, with Ken Brulee another to consider.

4	Bounced back to form when runner-up at Pontefract (6f) in July but lesser effort when down the field at Southwell 17 days ago. However, she's now 2 lb below her last winning mark so is worth another chance. 1st Pick 4 Starsong (Ire) Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson Trainer: Michael Appleby J: Alistair Rawlinson T: Michael Appleby	100	-	-	-	39%

1	Without a win for current yard this season but went close at Ffos Las (6f) in July. Hasn't quite matched that level in 2 starts since, though met trouble when fifth of 11 at Windsor 20 days ago. Interesting from her reduced mark. 2nd Pick 1 The Feminine Urge (Ire) Jockey: Ashley Lewis Trainer: Grace Harris J: Ashley Lewis T: Grace Harris	99	-	-	-	19%

3	Fitted with cheekpieces when getting off the mark at Lingfield (6f, good) in May. Returned to a similar level when making all at Chepstow 24 days ago and he looks the possible pace angle in this race. Could be thereabouts. 3rd Pick 3 Ken Brulee Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Mark Usher J: Rob Hornby T: Mark Usher	94	-	-	-	17%
