Form & Verdict
Only 3-32 and it took an age to win on turf, but after that Ripon success (5f, good to soft) she beat all bar a thriving winner at Windsor (6f, good to firm); big shout off the same mark and has form on undulating tracks.

Form & Verdict
3lb higher than when bang there in 7f handicaps at Redcar and Epsom but a greater concern is her no-show at Brighton last time; clear claims if shrugging aside that flop and she's probably quick enough for 6f.

Has won only a 5f novice on the AW but has placed in his last two handicaps, both over 6f on AW; has a race in him off this mark but his turf form doesn't read so well and Epsom will be a new experience.

Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark.

15-race maiden but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was a fair fifth of 12 here (1m) on his stable debut last Monday; did best of the prominent racers in that classified event and he could go well again back in a 7f handicap.

AW novice winner for his previous yard; 0-7 in handicaps but he wasn't far away when staying on well over 5f at Windsor on his debut for this stable and returning to 6f should benefit.

Down the field when making a quick return to the track at York recently but in peak form previously, showing better form with his wins at Beverley (5f, heavy) and on the AW than when slightly hampered against Thistle Nil over this C&D in August; respected.
