NEVER TOO LATE (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 480m (31.04). Rates on top in this line up. BRAMBLE NERO (4) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3 lengths into third (29.55) at this track in a HCP over 480m. Hard to beat again. ALNWICK BETTY (5) is shooting for the hat-trick after consecutive wins, firstly at this track then last time by 1.3 lengths when off 7m in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.36). Takes on another handicap here and will break off 2m. Smart handicapper who has two wins and four placings from eight runs from the staggered start. In contention again. BALLYCIAN EDITH (6) has been racing well of late. Filled a minor placing two starts back breaking from 2m in a handicap at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.56). Tackles a handicap again and breaks from the back. In form and must be included.

Followed a minor placing when off 10m in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fourth last start, beaten 4 lengths, in an A9 at this track over 480m (31.04). Back to a handicap this time and jumps with a 10m advantage.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and faces a tough task.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in a HCP at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Racing well. Placed two back when started off 2m in a handicap at this track then third in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.56). Tackles a handicap again and breaks from the back. Expected to measure up again.
