Form & Verdict
Had plenty of chances against her own sex in maiden/novice company last year and has finished well held in a couple of handicaps latterly; again didn't look to see out 6f on her comeback, though, having pulled hard, and should improve on that.

J: Callum Shepherd

Exposed filly who was found a weak, small-field Wolverhampton handicap in April and has otherwise looked to have little in hand this season; vulnerable to improvers once more.

Won narrowly from three rivals at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in April and only just beaten in one go over C&D, but needs to bounce back from a modest effort at Nottingham (5f, good) this month (behind Galaxy Zoo).

J: David Probert

Not an instant success in handicaps but the return to 5f helped when putting up a game show to win with nothing to spare on AW in April; a subsequent Yarmouth third suggests more will be needed in this higher grade.

Form & Verdict
Serial hard-puller who ran a personal best in a first-time hood (off here) on 5f Southwell comeback three weeks ago, when well away and allowed to stride on; should be up to winning off this mark if building on that.

Left Ollie Sangster for 7,000gns and as a 12-race maiden; however, she was runner-up four times and this trip on slow ground is suitable; could go well.

J: Clifford Lee

0-11 but she's had plenty of close calls including at Doncaster (5f, good) on her penultimate run; looks interesting if she can recapture that form and she seems fairly versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Won three nurseries last backend, including over C&D, and has continued to prove competitive this time round; having Cian Horgan back up to take off 5lb won't hurt and she looks set to run well once more.

Not entirely disgraced at Newcastle last week and probably remains in form; narrow success on penultimate outing took her C&D record to 121; solid claims back here.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Had plenty of racing last year and there's nothing left in the way of improvement; however, she's been running well enough under aggressive rides over further to suggest this mark is within range if able to dictate again back down to 5f in a small field.

Inconsistent and generally disappointing since winning 5f Lingfield novice (good to firm) last summer; not beaten far when last of four at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in April but trailed in last of 11 at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last month; not easy to predict.
