1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (7f, good) 48 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so holds very good claims despite a 7 lb weights rise.

Latest win at Epsom in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 10/3) 20 days ago, doing too much too soon. Sort to bounce back.

5/2, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 27 days ago, dropping away quickly. Needs a couple of these to falter.

2 wins from 4 runs this year, landing 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 42 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form.
Timeform Verdict 
Plenty are in with a shout but WHERE'S FREDDY showed the benefit of cheekpieces when a ready Newmarket scorer last time so is taken to defy a 7 lb weights rise with the headgear again sported. State Flag could emerge as the main danger on the back of her C&D victory with in-form pair Wonder Smile and Clipsham La Habana also in the mix. Freetodream completes the shortlist.
Betting Forecast
17/2 Clipsham La Habana, 20/1 Achillea, 20/1 Red Maids, 7/2 Where's Freddy (Ire), 14/1 Land Of Magic, 8/1 Wonder Smile (Ire), 16/1 Tayala, 15/2 State Flag
