Good record over C&D and at this time of year; solid effort here latest; decent claims

5lb rise demands more but she may well be up to the job in a handicap lacking depth

Nine-time course winner, including over 6f off a 2lb lower mark early in the year; capable

This mark within range; goes without the hood tonight; has been expensive to follow

Poor maiden for four yards who hasn't been seen in a year; worth a look in the market
8 (8)	Battle Point Bay J:Kieren Fox T:Michael Attwater	J:Kieren Fox T:Michael Attwater	126	—	9267-5	46	62	57	22d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-5	1.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Almost three years since his sole win; Desdemona looks his yard's best chance

Sole victory came first time up last year after a similar break; lost his way later on

Remains winless after 21 starts and has been running over 6f of late; each-way shout
