Her sole success came over C&D and she shaped as though the run was needed after a 12-week layoff when a fading seventh of nine in 6f Kempton handicap 29 days ago; she can take a step forward now.

Just 1-16 but her win came at this track (6f) in March and she was a close third at Kempton two weeks ago; looks worth another try at this trip and has claims if she can repeat that latest form.

17-race maiden; not beaten far when third of five at Chepstow (5f, good) last month but that form is very tricky to evaluate (36-rated winner beat 1-12 favourite), and he's untested on ground slower than good to soft.

Headstrong; unplaced in six 6f-1m AW/turf starts for George Boughey including tried in headgear which is now removed; however, was twice well supported in the market, and the booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye; might prove capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Didn't progress in three 6f maiden/novices for Rae Guest last year, but best run came on the AW first time up (finished one place behind a subsequent winner); fair chance she'll build on that now fresh again, back on the AW and handicapping at a lowly level.

Doubled his tally when winning here over 1m4f in May, coming from last to first, and he left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 11 at Pontefract two weeks ago; will need a good gallop now dropped back in trip, which he isn't sure to get.

Made it 2-28 when successful at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) in May and although a fair fourth of eight back there 12 days ago (Coverbridge third), it does suggest he needs a bit more off this mark.

Last month's C&D success (good to firm) took his record in handicaps here to 3241; no surprise were he to reverse previous 1m2f course placings with Myna despite a 4lb re-raise, and Liam Wright can claim more here than in that apprentice race last time; player.
