Coconut Squeak only went down by a short head to Cree over this trip at Epsom last month and looks worth a bet to go one better off just a 1lb higher mark with Island Swing and Daniella rated the main dangers. The selection has maintained her form well in three starts since scoring at Salisbury in June and remains feasibly well treated so gets the vote. Park Approach showed improved for at Ayr last time and returns to handicap-company on a fair mark so has to be respected along with Milton Bradley's Leicester winner Ruby's Dream. Elisha has claims on the pick of her form although a bigger threat is likely to come from recent Folkestone scorer Island Swing, although a 6lb penalty for that effort may scupper her chances. Moonmaiden is fairly treated on her best and is another to consider along with Rae Guest's Daniella, who looks to be running into form. Manic looks pretty much exposed now and of more interest may be High Rhythm, particularly if the market speaks in her favour. Coconut Squeak holds solid claims though and is taken to gain compensation for her latest narrow defeat.
