Verdict

Pretty moderate maiden which paves the way for NICE SORT (7) to get off the mark. Eye-catching return when flashing home late from the back to finish a close-up fourth. Has upside and looks a top chance this line-up on the figures from first few starts. COMMON TOUCH (1) appeals as the main threat. Beaten less than a length at final run last time in and will be tough to stop here fresh. SHIMARI (6) finished ninth over 5f at Northam at her most recent appearance on September 4. Has switched to the Colin Webster (Jnr) stable. Has ability and can improve sharply. CEDARHURST (3) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Placed in a recent trial and can kick off with a bold showing. LADIES BEST (10) will strip fitter and can do better.
