Form & Verdict
Gained six of her nine wins here; close third off today's mark over C&D (good) last month and also ran well over 5f a few days later; below that form twice since (5.7f/5f) but it won't be a surprise if she rebounds.

Acts on any ground and mainly consistent, again running with credit when third of eight here (7f, good to soft) on Saturday; has only managed to win one of her last 32 starts, though, and may prefer further than this now.

Acts on any ground, but the last nine of her ten wins have been over sprint trips; has had some close calls over C&D this summer but she's not easy to predict and has been well held in her last two runs; risks attached.

J: Rossa Ryan

Seven-time course winner who's become hard to win with, landing just one of her last 30 starts; she's not been this low in the weights for years but isn't as good now; yard also responsible for Savannah Smiles.

Form & Verdict
Did pretty well last year (two wins) and returned with two good efforts this spring, latterly when fourth of 12 on turf return at Windsor (6f, good to firm); may yet have a bigger run in her; must be considered.

Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more.

Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best.

Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course.

Form & Verdict
Well down the field on first two starts this year but kept on well for third at Bath (5.7f firm) last month; might have gone close there had a gap opened at the right time and this C&D also suits him; shortlisted.

Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error.

Just two wins (both on soft ground) from his 29 starts but he returned from a break with a close third of six at Ffos Las (5f, good) last Friday, and he could be in the mix off the same, career-low mark.

Rarely runs on turf but was close third at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago; returned from break with encouraging run at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, keeping on from a long way off the pace for sixth, and has possibilities if coping with the forecast slow ground.
