Still 1lb lower than when last successful and ran with credit when fourth of ten at Goodwood (1m, soft) nine days ago; well beaten in one previous go on the AW (at Kempton) so she does have a bit to prove.

Form & Verdict
Five wins, including three this season; failed to cover herself in glory when last of the four at Windsor (1m2f; fine at 1m) but could bounce back from that with Tyler Saunders reunited and claiming 5lb; placed on soft, though improvement has come on drier ground.

Form & Verdict
Won on soft; she was due a 3lb drop so even with a penalty she's only 2lb higher than for last week's Chepstow win, when scoring by nearly 3l after leading 3f out; beat only three rivals but the runner-up was penalised for a recent win; should go well.

Four-time turf winner who has finished runner-up in both starts over C&D since debuting on the AW last month; only failed by a short head last time (third horse won at Wolverhampton on Monday) and although 3lb higher, she has to be respected having again been handed a good draw.

Form & Verdict
Seeking a hat-trick after winning readily at Nottingham and following up from the front at Newmarket, doing it even more easily with a penalty; effectively 11lb higher today with William Cox having claimed 3lb last time, but she's never been in better nick; unraced on slower than good.

Won two fast-ground 1m handicaps on turf last summer and better than ever on her seasonal return when arriving late to land a fillies' handicap (1m) on Lingfield AW; drawn wide when never dangerous after a 5lb rise at Kempton; this mark could be an issue.

Form & Verdict
Two wins last year were on soft and good to soft; running well this season but yet again she was slowly away before finishing a never-dangerous fourth at Haydock latest (1m, good); could do with kicking that habit but she should have a say and a true pace would help.

6yo whose first go at about 1m2f was a winning one in 15-runner race at the York Ebor meeting (good to firm) in August, leading final 1f at 25-1; won on it in the past but has not shone on softer than good in 2023 or 2024, trying heavy ground (1m2f) on latest start; plenty to find on ratings.

Form & Verdict
Has 7lb higher mark on the AW after five wins in that scene; off the mark on turf when prevailing narrowly at Salisbury (7f) in June and latest Newmarket third wasn't far off that level; has not had many chances at 1m and she stays far; ground unlikely to trouble her.
