Form & Verdict
Pretty consistent since switched to current stable in May, and shaped very much as though worth a crack at today's trip when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford (1m, AW; refitted visor) recently; will be fine back on turf; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today.

Form & Verdict
Now back on same mark as when winning in pretty good style here (1m, good to firm) on seasonal debut in April but was safely held when sixth on all four subsequent appearances; swaps hood for refitted cheekpieces today; tongue-tie removed; fine over today's trip but clearly needs to up her game.

Form & Verdict
Had been knocking on the door prior to her narrow win here (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago, form that has recently been very well advertised by the clear runner-up; 5lb higher now but the return to 1m2f won't be a problem; likely contender.

Won over C&D last season and began this campaign with some very respectable efforts but has looked out of sorts on both outings this month and now has questions to answer; swaps blinkers for refitted visor.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten after racing too freely on handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f) in May and it was a similar story in recent 1m4f classified here; may benefit from this drop back in trip but others have much more obvious claims.

Seemed to run well (66-1 fifth) over C&D in November but has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent runs and looks a poor maiden on balance; far from solid.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner who exploited his lower turf mark when scoring under Anna Gibson at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in early June; not seen again since but subsequent 3lb rise doesn't look excessive, and 1m2f also suits.

Seven-time winner from 1m-1m2f; not on a bad mark on the pick of last season's efforts, but he has been absent for 193 days and and an inexperienced amateur takes the ride (first Flat ride under rules).

Unexposed filly who made quite promising seasonal debut when midfield in Windsor maiden (1m, good) in May; subsequent Goodwood run was a backward step but she remains open to improvement in handicaps; interesting.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when narrowly landing a 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton two weeks ago, her first run for 229 days; wore blinkers for the first time on that occasion and they're now swapped for a visor; should give it another good go up 2lb.

0-10, but she was running well over 1m4f on Polytrack late last year; returns from 229 days off in first-time blinkers and not sure dropping in trip is ideal, but still hard to dismiss with Simon Walker taking the ride.
