Verdict
All About Time ended her last campaign with a victory here in August and will be better for her reappearance in a higher-class handicap at Doncaster. Belle Travers hasn't won since her debut in 2014 but has been placed several times at this level including at Hamilton earlier this month. NINETTA (NAP) was very highly tried after her maiden victory at Carlisle but was placed in the Tattersalls Fillies' Trophy at Newmarket. She led for a long way against better opposition than this here last month and can get back to winning ways. Secret Lightning is back on the same mark as when winning here in August while Shafaya ran her best race to date on ground with some give at Haydock last time so further rain would aid her cause. Deodoro has been well beaten in Class 3 handicaps this season so will appreciate the drop in grade.
