Form & Verdict
Big improvement upped to 1m4f when justifying favouritism with a easy win at Chepstow (good; 2-1) on Wednesday; that was only her fourth handicap and she looks well treated under a penalty for that 6l success; strong claims.

Won three times on turf for Richard Hannon last year; runner-up three times this year for current yard but is proving to be inconsistent; runs without tongue-tie worn on last two starts; rated 5lb lower on AW but best chance of success would appear to be on turf.

Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up

Form & Verdict
Six-race maiden who has not really progressed and he's finished a well-held sixth in his two runs (8.3f/1m2f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs improvement with cheekpieces added at this new trip.

0-11 but was runner-up in two AW handicaps in January and he's finished placed on turf (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; edging back up the weights but he got crowded out in the closing stages at Newmarket last time and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix.

Beaten a nose here last August (1m4f) off 2lb higher; disappointing run over hurdles five weeks ago, when a remote last of three, will need forgiving, but he has claims otherwise in a weak race going this far for the first time; back to blinkers from cheekpieces.

Caused a 40-1 surprise when dead-heating on nursery debut (9.5f, AW) last September; has not gone on from that in three runs since, but she made some late gains on her reappearance at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and looks a possible improver at this new trip.

Dual 1m2f winner in this month last year, latterly off mark 4lb higher than today's; yet to strike form after three starts this season but was unlucky to be brought down on second occasion, and her subsequent third of five at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) was respectable; dangerous if back in the groove.

Struggled at big prices in three novice events at Chelmsford (1m/1m2f) early this year; this is more realistic on handicap debut but she still needs plenty of progress on this switch to turf.
