Form & Verdict
Front-running winner over C&D in December when only 1lb lower; soft ground an excuse next time but her Fontwell effort (2m5f, good) was also underwhelming; difficult to know what to expect from her but an easy lead would aid her cause.

Gained all three wins over C&D, the latest from the front in February (soft ground; also suited by good); below that form on next three outings but has possibilities if back on song after 168-day break.

Looked in excellent nick when making all for clearcut success at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February but was beaten about 30l over that C&D on next two outings; moves back up in trip with questions to answer.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Placed in a novice hurdle and again on handicap debut at Hereford when only 2l off the winner (2m, good to soft); subsequent efforts at about 2m3f weren't so encouraging, weakening on both occasions; has a bit to prove now but still commands some respect.

Failed to complete three consecutive races this summer but dominated from the front at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 16 days ago and is now 3-9 over fences; 8lb higher here but could still be on the upgrade.

11st 4lb

J: Charlie Todd

T: Emma Lavelle

Completed a double with an easy win over C&D (good) in June but she's failed to complete in last three runs and was pulled up here last time (sustained an overreach to left fore); comes with risks attached but she still looks on a workable mark and has claims if she can get back on track.

A Little Something

11st 8lb

J: Ben Jones

T: Emma Lavelle

Easily won two small-field chases this spring, the latter from the front here (2m3f, good), and was in front before last-fence mishap at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) on next outing; fell last time but could plausibly still have more improvement to come if she gets round safely.

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
Some promise for Dan Skelton and again when fifth of 16 on debut for this yard at Warwick (2m3f handicap) after a long absence; tailed off since over 2m (latterly only last week at Stratford) but returning to further can help, as might the cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Showed bits of promise for Henry De Bromhead; now 0-11 but it was her first completion for this yard when an 80-1 third at Southwell (2m4f handicap on good to soft) and was beaten under 6l; clear chance if building on that.
