T: Bryan Smart

Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates.

Form & Verdict
Cashed in on a reduced mark with hood added at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last month but he's been disappointing in two subsequent runs; has quite a bit to prove again and it would be worry if rain arrives.

On the up since joining Robert Cowell this summer and comfortably gained a third victory for the yard in nine-runner handicap at Sandown (5f) last month by 3/4l from Maharajas Express; up 5lb but that form has been really well advertised, so he is seriously considered.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won over 5f at Wolverhampton (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) for Mark Walford last September; hasn't really gone on since but she finished a close third of six at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has possibilities on that form and she needs a close look for new yard.

In top form at present, winning her second on the trot, over C&D (fourth course win) last Tuesday; carries 5lb penalty but every chance there is more in the tank and a hat-trick is a real possibility.

Form & Verdict
Just one win in first 25 starts but she doubled her tally when scoring in good style over C&D (good to firm; 4-1) last Tuesday; has a penalty but that was an eased-down success and she won't mind what the weather does; key player.

Form & Verdict
Triple 5f winner who handles most ground; didn't get much luck when runner-up in this race last year and she filled the same position in a Class 5 at Ayr (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; looks interesting on this drop back in grade and she's a big player if she gets the breaks.

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made.

Usually a front-runner and he's been consistent since last success (August 2024) but is getting minimal help from the handicapper; still 6lb above the mark of both wins and he could be vulnerable again.
