4 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
She won three of her first four starts for this yard and is now 5lb lower than for her handicap win 11 months ago; retains ability but the balance of this season's form leaves her vulnerable.

Four-time turf winner who has finished runner-up in both starts over C&D since debuting on the AW last month; only failed by a short head last time (third horse won at Wolverhampton on Monday) and although 3lb higher, she has to be respected having again been handed a good draw.

Form & Verdict
Carlisle winner for Karl Burke last season (1m1f, good); off the mark for her new stable when getting the better of Trans Montana (runs in the 1.40) at Ffos Las last week; that was only a Class 6 event but she is well in under a 5lb penalty and she has to enter calculations.

J: Mr Jack Loughnane

T: Joe Ponting

Two of her three wins have come on turf, but seen much more often on the AW these days; latest efforts have been respectable, but a losing run of 26 sounds a note of caution.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in her four runs for Richard Hughes, notably when a close second of ten at Ffos Las 11 months ago; she was disappointing on her reappearance at Brighton in June and changed hands for £5,000 the following month; something to prove on her handicap debut.

Won off a similar mark here (11.6f, firm) last August but that is her only success from 41 starts and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; down the list.

Just 1-40 but the win did come here (11.5f, firm) and her latest defeat can probably be put down to testing conditions; handicapped to be competitive.

Running well enough to think she can be involved to some extent but her convincing Bath win at about 1m3f in August came on firm ground and she has more to prove with the recent rain.

4 yo Filly

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-17 when trained in Ireland but she has rediscovered her spark since joining her upwardly mobile new yard in July, making all to reward good support at Kempton (1m) and easily following up at Lingfield a fortnight later; she came up short in her hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but it was still a rock-solid effort and she should have no problem with the return to turf (handles good to firm and has won on yielding); high on the shortlist.

6yo whose first go at about 1m2f was a winning one in 15-runner race at the York Ebor meeting (good to firm) in August, leading final 1f at 25-1; won on it in the past but has not shone on softer than good in 2023 or 2024, trying heavy ground (1m2f) on latest start; plenty to find on ratings.
