Runner-up over 7f at Chelmsford when back from a break & this drop back in trip could suit

Fair fourth over 7f at Newcastle last time and this drop back in trip looks the right move

Only seventh on her three starts but a market check is advised on handicap debut

Won at Wolverhampton last week on second handicap start and holds solid claims

Didn't threaten on stable debut but well backed; interesting to see if supporters return
4 (1)	Bank On Kent Bay J:P J McDonald T:David Evans	J:P J McDonald T:David Evans	133	—	32-564	53	60	57	22d	—	—	-6	3.3	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Remains a maiden after 13 starts but placed a few times and might not be far away
9 (6)	Sandinyourshoes Bay J:Alex Jary(5) T:Stella Barclay	J:Alex Jary(5) T:Stella Barclay	129	—	0-55	49	53	26	36d	—	—	-3	1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Well beaten thus far but has useful pedigree and goes handicapping off a basement mark
3 (2)	Tiana Rose Bay J:Warren Fentiman(7) T:Philip McBride	J:Warren Fentiman(7) T:Philip McBride	133	—	80038-	53	57	24	153d	—	—	0	3.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Fair third on handicap debut in September but off since lesser run later that month

Goes handicapping off a lowly mark but others have more compelling claims
