Compton Ford, Fasliyanne and Dispol Grand are the shortlisted trio here, with COMPTON FORD in good heart and taken to return to winning form. Fasliyanne won earlier this year at Catterick and has been running consistently since without putting her head in front. She has just regressed slightly of late and can be opposed. Dispol Grand has been in decent form of late, but is another who seems one paced in the closing stages. He may also be in the grip of the handicapper. Compton Ford reversed earlier form with Fasliyanne when scoring at Catterick, and lost little in defeat with a sound effort last time. 5lbs worse off with Fasliyanne, Compton Ford seems to have improved while Fasliyanne has lost her edge. Comton Ford looks to be in good heart and can score.
