MOHAAB looks the most solid option in a tricky finale, with Hot Silk feared most now handicapping over a more suitable trip.

Verdict
Fairly promising sort who was only beaten by a better-calibre type in higher grade at Newbury (good to soft) last time, travelling as though the ground was a plus, which does give some concern returning to quicker conditions.

Verdict
Relished the step back up in trip/ground when opening her account at Bath (1¼m, good to soft) prior to finishing a creditable fourth at this course last time. Extra distance can only benefit one who looks all about stamina and she could resume winning ways with Billy Loughnane taking over.

Verdict
Runner-up in a borderline fairly useful C&D handicap last month, she was possibly unsuited by softer conditions at Newbury and it's reasonable to think she can do better returning to this track. Cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Verdict
Hasn't progressed in a trio of starts on the all-weather, proving too free on first start over 1½m at Newcastle latterly, though she now switches to handicaps/turf and it's too soon to dismiss her given excellent pedigree/connections.

Verdict
Too Darn Hot filly from a good family who again wasn't seen to best effect over an inadequate test on qualifying run at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and she may well improve now tackling middle-distance handicaps.
