    Verdict

    Richard Fahey's only runner at the meeting, Footlight, has shown little to date but makes her handicap debut from a very lowly mark. Thief Of Hearts refused to race at Leicester in July and has been beaten in two sellers subsequently so TIMIA looks the one to beat. She showed much more dash in a maiden here last month and with further progress expected can gain her first success in this moderate company. Ertidaad has shown ability but hasn't always been inclined to use it so a first-time visor may help. Cross Examine has been well beaten on all four starts but wouldn't need much improvement to get involved.
