SUGAR SUGAR (2) built on a creditable Wolverhampton second to open her account providing handicap debut over the distance at Epsom. George Wood retained and another bold showing looms. Top selection. THUNDEROUS LOVE (5) is two from four at this circuit. Bounced back to form when second at Salisbury last month. Enters calculations off an unchanged mark with the in-form Rob Hornby back on board. The consistent MELISSA HONEY (6) has only missed the frame once in her last five attempts including wins at Doncaster and Leicester. Sound prospects. SEEING STARS (3) wears first-time cheekpieces and also merits consideration.

Last start ran second last of 10 at Sandown Park on July 29 over 2000m, 21 len behind Spirit Of Athene carrying 59.5kg at $13. The race before that 5th of 9 at Beverley on July 4 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Porth Eilian with 59kg at $4.30. Can't recommend on that performance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by a neck at Epsom Downs July 30 over 1200m defeating Twirler with 59.5kg at $7. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Wolverhampton on July 14 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind George Wickham with 58kg at $6. In great form and can make it back-to-back wins.
