Verdict
LIBERATE looked one to keep on side when getting off the mark at Goodwood last month and with the second having scored subsequently, James Horton's filly makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut. Fellow last time out winner Patagonia Girl has been going the right way in handicaps and is feared most ahead of class-dropper Lady La Fay.

VerdictLooked a work in progress on first couple of starts but showed much improved form to get off the mark in impressive fashion at Goodwood (9.9f) last month (form has been franked), quickened to lead 2f out and only ridden out late on. Will go on improving and makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut. - 6. Patagonia GirlJ: Richard KingscoteT: Hugo PalmerF: 027-351

VerdictSteadily improved in handicaps and got off the mark when dropped back in trip at Salisbury (9.9f) 18 days ago, all out to hold on. No surprise to see her step forward again and she merits consideration in an open-looking handicap. - 1. Lady La FayJ: Oisin James OrrT: K. R. BurkeF: 42413-454

VerdictFairly useful 3-y-o form and matched that when fourth on reappearance at Thirsk. Hasn't progressed in two starts since but handicapper has given her a chance and she could make more of an impact back down in grade.

VerdictMade a winning reappearance/handicap debut at Chelmsford (10f) in March but form has been in and out subsequently, well backed but not on her game when trailing the field at Chelmsford earlier this month. Could be worth another chance returning to quicker conditions back on turf.

VerdictFair 1m winner in Ireland for Dermot Weld in 2024 and proved better than ever on stable debut following 6 months off when dictating a 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh. Not disgraced when third at Nottingham (8.3f) having been unable to lead and may have to settle for minor honours again.
