Verdict

Malcolm Saunders is a trainer to follow when his yard are among the winners and LADY BAYSIDE is worthy of our attention in this moderate handicap. The six-year-old was a winner over C&D last season and she will take her chance on this occasion off a 1lb higher mark. Zed Candy Girl aims for her hat-trick having won readily at Bath and Kempton. Dai Burchell's filly is rated some 11lb higher than when she started her winning run, but she has clearly thrived for a change of yard. Tenbridge was ahead of our selection when they met in June though he reopposes off far less favourable terms. Delightful Sleep remains a long-standing maiden on Turf despite attracting market support on a number of occasions. Mister Musicmaster continues to plummet down the handicap and has yet to take advantage of the assessor's helping hand.
