Form & Verdict
Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in May, opening her account at the ninth attempt; below that form when only third of four here (1m4f, good to firm) last time but could be dangerous on this return to 1m2f if able to dominate.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Two wins over 1m2f at Salisbury (good to firm) this season but she flopped in her bid for a double there (last of six) last month; still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form but she needs to bounce back on this return to 1m.

She raced at up to 1m in her early starts but has improved for the step up to 1m2f in cheekpieces, winning two from the front over C&D; up 3lb for the latest one and an easy lead looks possible; claims again.

Form & Verdict
Won readily by 5l on last month's handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and might have been a shade unlucky not to folliow up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks later; moves up in trip today and could still have lots more to offer; good chance.

Unexposed 3yo who won on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has been knocking on the door in both runs since; up another 2lb but she was only beaten a nose at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and is open to more progress; key player.

9st 7lb

J: David Probert

T: Andrew Balding

Useful pedigree (bred to stay 1m2f) and she's been a big improver from a very low starting point; hooded on last two outings, last time always front rank when justifying 6-5 favouritism by 5l in a six-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) on handicap debut; up 10lb and probably has more to give.

3 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Made satisfactory start to handicap career at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May, keeping on for third; needs to build on that run here but remains unexposed, and this stiffer track may show her in a better light.

Won once as a 2yo and also when making all in six-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good) in September; a little below that form under a penalty at Yarmouth (11.4f, soft) eight days later, again front-running, but should be more interesting now dropped back in trip.

Sister to top-class Cracksman; improved to win a maiden at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) in April by 11l; last of seven in the Cheshire Oaks but 3l sixth of nine over C&D (good) in another Listed race 15 days ago registered her highest rating and she kept on well; needs better still.

Finished last of seven in the Cheshire Oaks but was perhaps feeling the effects of a busy spell (that was her third start in just under four weeks); scored by a wide margin at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) the time before and this sister to Cracksman retains potential.
