MISS Z (6) finished second as favourite last time out over 6f at this track, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Expected to go close. CRESSONS LIL CHARM (7) made progress last time out, finishing 4. 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NEIGHNEIGH (5) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 7f at this track after she was prominent at the bend. NORMA NO (8) is back at the races for the first time since September 13. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6½f at Hastings Racecourse. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Has to be respected.
