Form & Verdict
Shaped full of promise when runner-up behind a nice prospect on her debut at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August and she built on that when third at York (7f, good; raced freely and suffered interference) the following month, looking as if she would cope with this drop to 6f; off since and now makes her AW debut but sets the standard.

9st 3lb

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Placed all four starts and she has won her last two; further improvement when coming from the rear to beat seven rivals at Wetherby (7f, good; hooded) five weeks ago; should stay today's extra yardage and there's almost certainly still better still to come.

Didn't need to improve on her 2yo form to win a 6f fillies' novice at Chelmsford in January; returns to 7f with a hood fitted; brings untapped potential to this handicap debut.

Progressive RPRs in three starts last summer, fifth of eight at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) the final time; she's of interest returned to AW on reappearance.

Welcome Retreat

9st 5lb

J: Luke Morris

T: James Owen

Went very close off 1lb lower mark on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (6f) and was not discredited when third in Wolverhampton novice a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack and probably won't be far away.

Welcome Retreat

9st 2lb

J: Luke Morris

T: James Owen

Gradually getting closer to winning, beaten half a length on her Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) in January and by just a short head in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be bang there again.

Form & Verdict
Placed in three of her five starts for David Evans last year but she's ran below the level of her peak efforts in three outings for this stable; runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago and may prove vulnerable again.

9st 1lb

J: Marco Ghiani

Maiden who's been expensive to follow, including in a couple of handicaps since returned to turf; has often been inclined to pull hard and is dropping to 5f for the first time, which ought to help.

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Stuart Williams

Made the frame at Haydock (6f) last time in only her second handicap attempt; seems more exposed than most of these rivals, being 0-10, but she's a form contender and could go well.

J: Callum Rodriguez

Eight of her nine runs have come in novice/maiden company but her one handicap run saw her finish second over C&D last July off an 8lb higher mark; returns from an 86-day break without any accessories; betting useful.
