BARELY NOTHING paid for setting a strong pace when weakening into fourth over C&D last month but may be capable of building on that effort if ridden with a little more restraint and keeping something in reserve for the finish. Dilatory and Boy Has Rhythm are others to consider.
Perfect Wind may be capable of improving on his recent course eighth now dropped in grade but of more interest is STAR FACTOR, who rattled the crossbar over 5f here last time and could appreciate this extra yardage. Pete And David make most appeal of the remainder.
NOFINANCINGNEEDED bounced back to form when second over track and trip when last sighted and wouldn't need to improve much on that level of form to land the spoils. Six Peaces and Mississippi Man can battle it out for the minor honours.
HARBOUR NEWS shaped with plenty of promise when second at Penn on debut in May and, entitled to have improved over the summer, she could be worth latching on to. Misstreated and Dragon Tattoo complete the shortlist.
AFTER THE BELL looked out of his depth when contesting a competitive allowance contest last time out, but the course maiden winner can show his true running now eased in class. Raven's Tale and Do A Legger can also make the frame.
ALTERNATIVE arrives on a hat-trick following two dominant displays here in similar claimers and he's hard to look past in his current mood. Visigodo and Concorde's Peace are also noted.
Ha Ha Fooled Ya was well backed when finishing third here last month, but the fourth placed horse MS. N. TARSIA is fancied to overturn those placings as she fluffed her start there and is proven at this trip. Taking A Chance looks a danger moving into claiming company.
AMANDA KNOCKS was third in more valuable company when last sighted, and with the second placed horse boosting the form by winning since, she is fancied to break her duck here. Border and Rich Chocolate would represent big dangers if they can convert their turf form on to dirt.
