Reeling N' Rocking, Meditation and Atraas are the shortlisted trio here, with Reeling N' Rocking taken to come out on top. Atraas lost his maiden tag at Chepstow after two promising runs but was then a disappointment next time at Newbury on his handicap bow. he has been given time to regroup, but he has not been given any respite by the handicapper which seems harsh. Meditation scored on his last visit to the track, over this distance, and he ran well in defeat at Wolverhampton last time, albeit over two furlongs further. His rating is on the up, but he can hit the frame again. Reeling N' Rocking may need time between her races to be seen to best effect. After scoring over this course and distance in July, she was well beaten a fortnight later. However, given a break she then turned in a good effort in defeat last time. The winner has been touched off since so the form looks solid, and racing off only a three pound higher mark than when last successful, Reeling N' Rocking can weave her way through to success here.
