Verdict

DASH OF CLASS has run well here previously, and she gets the vote in a tricky handicap. Fellow 3-y-os Head Girl and Heart Sign also make appeal, with Buck Barrow the pick of those with proven soft-ground form.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob
8	Produced her best effort upped to 1¼m when third at this course in May. Only bettered by a fellow 3-y-o who made all under Brighton subsequently and was poorly placed on first crack over 1½m here last time. She's relatively unexposed for a race of this nature and may get off the mark. 1st Pick 8 Dash Of Class Jockey: Jack Doughty Trainer: Dr Richard Newland J: Jack Doughty T: Dr Richard Newland	100	-	-	-	19%

6	Third at Lingfield in May (race produced 5 next-time-out winners). Capitalised on the drop into selling company when a decisive all-the-way winner at Beverley (1½m, good) last time. Could make a bold bid to follow up back in a handicap, provided she handles what will likely be contrasting ground. 2nd Pick 6 Head Girl Jockey: Edward Greatrex Trainer: Jonathan Portman J: Edward Greatrex T: Jonathan Portman	95	-	-	-	40%

5	Split a couple of next-time-out winners when third at Leicester (1¼m, good) in June. Too free in first-time visor on first crack over this trip at Lingfield (13/8 favourite) latest. May be capable of better off this sort of mark, provided he settles better with hood/blinkers refitted. 3rd Pick 5 Heart Sign Jockey: Taryn Langley Trainer: Jack Morland J: Taryn Langley T: Jack Morland	97	-	-	-	6%
