GERT LUSH arrives in good form and wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield earlier this month. She gets the nod. Lapidarist and Charencey may provide the chief threat.

Course winner who made the frame again, in first-time cheekpieces, when creditable third of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) 30 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Verdict
Maiden who showed enough to think she's got a race in her when runner-up at Wolverhampton in March and got back to that sort of form when creditable second of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (1¼m, good to firm, 5/1) 20 days ago. Respected.

Long-standing maiden in Ireland for Kieran Cotter. Better effort for new yard when fourth of 10 in classified event over C&D in June and not seen to best effect at Windsor since. Can make presence felt.

Best effort this term came when close second at Chepstow (1m) in June but he continues to have issues at the start which makes him difficult to recommended despite his appealing mark.
