NOTHING IS FOREVER is awarded the tentative vote in an intriguing little handicap in which Kerriemuir Lass and I'm A Legend are just two of many that make some appeal. Dalyan Dancer nestles at the foot of the weights and ran the best of his three races earlier in the month; the betting should guide. I'm A Legend was not disgraced when a beaten favourite at Wincanton but has to prove his affinity for this track. Kerriemuir Lass won well on her handicap bow before being put away shortly afterwards following a below par performance and may have more to offer this term as may Double The Trouble who resumes from a break on a mark a stone higher courtesy of a wide margin success at Towcester. Of more speculative interest are Pass Me A Dime, Solitary Palm and Kosmos Bleu but the suggestion is the topweight. Liam Corcoran hasn't saddled a winner this month but he has his horses in good order and a good man in the saddle. The selection ran well to finish within three lengths of Woolcombe Folly on his second start before winning here in May. He may have been over the top when disappointing in June but Nothing Is Forever had shown useful form prior to that and may be able to resume his upward curve here.
