Verdict

WRYDCROFT can defy a further 10 lb rise and stretch his unbeaten record in handicaps to 3. The main threat may come from fellow 3-y-os Oilisa, a ready winner on testing ground at Ayr recently, and Louie The Legend, who won over C&D in July and looked back in form when fourth at Bath last time.

11	2-2 over 7f on good at Leicester since switching to handicaps. Bolted up under Rosie Dawes latterly and even a 10 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop her with further improvement likely. 1st Pick 11 Wrydcroft Jockey: Rose Dawes Trainer: Pam Sly J: Rose Dawes T: Pam Sly	100	-	-	-	19%

14	Progressive in handicaps on turf, scoring comfortably in the mud at Ayr (1m, heavy) 14 days ago. A 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from her. 2nd Pick 14 Oilisa Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Mark Walford J: Jason Hart T: Mark Walford	99	-	-	-	34%
