Timeform run the rule over the field for the European Breeders' Fund Fillies' Handicap...

Off Chance has gone up in the weights for her course and distance success last time but the front two were well clear of the third on that occasion and she can prove too strong for Black Dahlia and Snow Dancer.

Magic Echo scored twice in 2008 and was back to form when second at Doncaster last month. She wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much but has claims if building on that last run.

Black Dahlia has a modest strike rate, having won just two of her twenty-five starts. She produced a seemingly improved effort in listed company last time and shouldn't be far away this time.

Casino Night had a productive 2008, winning four times, but she seems to have lost some of her consistency this year. It was a fair effort last time but others are preferred over this trip.

Talk Of Saafend won four claimers in 2008 for Richard Hannon and ran well on her debut for this yard on her final outing last year. She has shown precious little this term though.

Snow Dancer is a consistent and versatile type who won at Wolverhampton in January. She has produced solid seconds the last twice and should run her race once more.

Johnston's Baby showed herself equally at home on turf when second at Nottingham in May. She has a tough task from out of the handicap here though.

Off Chance was a ready winner of a maiden at Ripon in April before disappointing when upped to an unsuitable trip on her handicap debut at York. She pulled clear with one other when winning here last time and has leading claims.

Honimiere has finished fourth on all five starts to date and although she should be up to winning a small race it is unlikely to be over this trip.
