Paul Hanagan has just the one booked ride here today and can land the spoils in this on board NAIZAH (NAP). She was having just her third career start when only beaten half-a-length by Priveleged at Chelmsford in July. The winner has gone close twice since in handicaps and a mark of 75 is a fair starting point for Ed Dunlop's filly, who needs a win to boost her paddocks value. Starlit Cantata is another returning from a short break but is a good yardstick who should be thereabouts again. Leicester runner-up Compton Mill has yet to really prove himself in this grade while Light Wave ran poorly at Wolverhampton after winning at Windsor and none of the others arrive in any kind of form.
