Verdict

ACCADEMIA looks capable of better again on the back of her Doncaster success and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Lightning Glory made a good start to her handicap career when second at Southwell 12 days ago and turns out again before a 3 lb rise for that kicks in. The reliable Areti wasn't far behind the Crisford's charge at Southwell and is next on the list.

6	All the sharper for reappearance when making it second time lucky in handicaps at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Took that in the style of one who can do better again, particularly now moving up to 1m.

8	All 4 starts on all-weather, showing improved form when second of 14 on 1m Southwell handicap debut 12 days ago.
