Verdict

VIOLET GOLDSMITH rates the pick of the weights and with this return to 1m a positive she is fancied to resume winning ways. Mbappe hasn't been at his best this summer but Billy Loughnane takes the ride for the first time since his C&D success in the winter so merits consideration, especially if the market vibes are positive. Hat-trick seeking Snooker McCrew can also have a say.

5	Got off the mark at Chepstow (1m) in July and in good form since, refitted in cheekpieces when a keeping-on sixth of 14 back at 7f at Leicester 16 days ago. This return to 1m should suit and she's weighted to go well. 1st Pick 5 Violet Goldsmith Jockey: Callum Hutchinson Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Callum Hutchinson T: Eve Johnson Houghton	100	-	-	-	14%	13/2

11	Scored over C&D in January (for today's rider) but hasn't been able to get involved on all 5 starts since returning from 5 months off. Mark eased further though and well worth a market check with Billy Loughnane now back in the saddle. 2nd Pick 11 Mbappe Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Mark Loughnane J: Billy Loughnane T: Mark Loughnane	97	-	-	-	6%	18/1
