Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix.

Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on his 2m win at Dundalk (AW) for Joseph O'Brien last January but he's been disappointing since and has been beaten 11l or more in his last four runs for current yard; plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Ended a 16-race losing streak when scoring over 2m at Southwell (Tapeta) in April; has not made a big impact in four runs since but 1m4f was too sharp for him here on his return last week and he now goes back up in trip off only 1lb higher than for last win; dangerous.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has not progressed and he faded into a 12l sixth on his handicap debut at Kempton (2m, AW) last time; dropped another 2lb but he needs something of a transformation on this switch to Tapeta.

Lightly raced filly who found improvement upped to 1m6f in her second handicap when runner-up at Chelmsford (Polytrack) ten days ago; that was behind a major improver who followed up under a penalty; is open to more progress on this step up to 2m; big player off same mark as last time.

Form & Verdict
Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland; fifth of 13 at Pontefract (2m2f, good to firm) in June was a step back in the right direction but not matched that in two runs since; was long way out of the weights back at Pontefract last time and this is a big drop back in grade but others more persuasive.
