Verdict
A fair handicap with a number of possibles but Den'S Joy has found her form with a vengeance here of late having scored twice over course and distance earlier in the month and is the TEAMtalk choice. The daughter of Archway appears best suited by this surface and a subseqient 6lb rise for her latest victory may not be enough to stop her in her current form. Sarraaf's latest effort can be ignored as the saddle slipped and he had previously scored on the turf at Leicester but is far from certain to appreciate the step up in trip while Reap now looks in the handicapper's grip following his early season wins. Little Amin has struggled since landing a minor event at Windsor in August but is well treated if he can recapture his best while Katiypour has claims on his staying-on second over a mile at Southwell last month but disappointed next time.
