Dress For The Occasions Handicap

Hard to fancy based on these figures — she failed to trouble the judge when fourth beaten 8l in a novice last time, and remains without a win in her last three starts; middle-distance breeding at least gives hope over 12f on her return from an 80-day break.

Below par in his last two starts, beaten 8l last time off a mark only 1lb higher; he has won twice in his last six and handles this trip and going, but sits at the bottom of our rankings with plenty to prove even with first-time cheekpieces.

Bounced back to land a classified event at this course and distance by a neck last time, showing he handles any going over 10-12f; the return to handicap company asks more, though the recent course form is solid and first-time cheekpieces add interest.

Ran to his level when a close second, beaten just half a length off this exact mark last time; effective at 8-10f on soft and AW, and has a clear chance if he carries that forward — a touch of keenness the main concern with first-time cheekpieces here.

Tried in cheekpieces at Doncaster last time but failed to see out the trip, beaten 6½l; bred for 8-10f and stepping up to 12f here is a further stamina test, while a run just nine days ago adds to the challenge for a horse yet to score in his last five starts.
