Nottingham winner Jewel In My Crown failed to cope with a rise in class last time while Atavique was beaten off today’s mark last time having won on the July course here earlier. Sammarr makes her handicap debut on her first start since February and shares ownership with TARROOB (NAP). The latter has undergone wind surgery since narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton in July and should go close again upped in trip. Gal Wonder never threatened at Sandown on her handicap bow while Widaad’s only success so far came over 7f so Aveta is preferred.
