London Essence Handicap

Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who is lightly raced on the Flat, but she was a 6l last of four here (1m7f, good to firm) in May on her handicap debut in this code and improvement is needed on this first run since.

Longstanding maiden who was well beaten at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last Monday on his first run since wind surgery; however, that was his first outing since April and back then he was short-headed over this C&D (good); also effective on soft ground; not written off today.

Six-race maiden who is yet to threaten and was well beaten over C&D (good to soft) in July, but she made some late headway when fourth of six in a first-time visor (retained) at Sandown (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago and on that evidence she's worth another go at this trip; not discounted.

Inconsistent for Mike Murphy and unraced on slow going; however, he won at Lingfield (2m, AW) two runs ago and is not ruled out on yard debut.

All four starts on AW; displayed little in her qualifying races but made late headway into fourth of 14 when upped in trip on recent handicap debut at Newcastle (12.4f), where he was short of room late on; very much of interest if taking to turf.
