9st 4lb

J: David Egan

T: Steph Hollinshead

Made the breakthrough at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September and ended last season with two solid efforts over this trip; returns after 211 days off but she still has low mileage and needs watching in the market for in-form yard.

J: Duran Fentiman

Improved since the cheekpieces went on, getting off the mark in 7f Leicester handicap in September and backing it up with a very good second of 14 in similar company there ten days ago; she merits serious consideration off the same mark.

Off the mark in similar event in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last time (good to soft; ridden by Luke Catton); headgear retained; obvious contender off this 4lb higher mark.

It's now 15 runs since his last victory and he came in a below-par seventh in 1m Carlisle handicap 16 days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces with more required.

Still a maiden after 23 starts but he has posted some fair efforts recently, notably when third of 11 at Bath (5.5f, firm; first-time blinkers) in May; fifth of eight at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims now back in trip; blinkers back on (replacing cheekpieces).

Excellent claims on the form of his Yarmouth 1m handicap second last month but he came in only sixth of eight in similar company there two days ago; he still can't be discounted here though.

Keen-going sort who has been in mainly good heart in turf handicaps since May (26212), the win coming at Yarmouth (1m, good) in July; a player if maintaining his form on Polytrack debut.

Winless since 2023 and he went without a hood when a below-form ninth of 12 in 7f Kempton handicap 40 days ago; tongue tie goes back on now with a bit to prove.

Four wins, including C&D, this winter and latest Chelmsford run probably not the one to judge him on; that said, he wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off his current mark.

Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally.

On a long losing sequence but he comes here in good nick since fitted with cheekpieces, second of ten in 6f Doncaster handicap a week ago; big shout with same headgear again sported.

All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise.

Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one.

Nine-race maiden but he's had a couple of thirds this summer and was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; ties in with Desert Beauty on that form and he's in the mix.
