58 Expert View: Irresolute under pressure down the field in a classified race at Doncaster most recent start; suited by 10-12f, acts on a sound surface; seems to have fallen out of love with the game.

68 Expert View: Decent effort having raced freely beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time back in May; suited by 11/12f, acts on fast ground and AW; in solid form, needs to settle and drop in trip could help with that.

65 Expert View: Dropped in from wide draw and too far back off a slow pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; in moderate form and mark looks stiff on that basis.

74 Expert View: Good trip on inner and best handicap run so far scoring by a head off a 2lb lower mark here last time; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on sound surface; still on a fair mark and should contend but doesn't have much of a change of pace.

77 Expert View: Ran to form and closing a fraction line beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 10f, acts on good to firm and AW and probably good to soft; got close to Melting Snow last time and may reverse placings 2lb better off.

69 Expert View: Ridden more prominently and didn't see out the 10f beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; effective 8-10f, acts on sound surface; mark is easing but form has fallen away a little.

74-895 3 9-2 63

58 Expert View: One paced but about to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; probably effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; longer trip may help but there is no guarantee and seems too high in the weights.

73 Expert View: Tired late over 12f after racing prominently but about to form tried in a tongue-tie in a handicap at Kempton most recent run; probably does stay 12f, best form on AW; drop in trip not sure to suit but has obvious claims from top yard.

Expert View Verdict

Verdict

There is a rematch here between PIPILY and Melting Snow. The latter prevailed last time but is 2lb worse off at the weights and got a nice run up the inner on their previous meeting while Pipily had to plot a wider course. Pipily is taken to reverse the placings here but only just. Evening Fades is a better looking filly than both but hasn't really fulfilled what could reasonably be expected of her so far. She didn't get home over 12f having raced near the pace at Kempton last time and may benefit from this drop in trip. She is a big danger.
