Hard to be confident about any of these in such a low grade handicap, but the speculative vote goes to STEPHARLIE. Her fourth over C&D on her penultimate start was her best effort by some way and an apprentice takes 5lb off her back on her return. Findhornbay finished closer at Leicester last time and may figure, along with Gin Twist, who has been placed on the Polytrack. M J Woodward wasn't beaten far over 5f here last week and Liquid Sunshine may do better on her handicap debut.
