Well beaten in one run for Alice Haynes but she has shown more in two runs for James Tate, finishing third in two 7f fillies' maidens last month; should stay 1m but she will need to raise her game to take this.

Placed twice in handicaps here in April/May but below that level twice since; needs the return to this track to bring about a resurgence.

Modest maiden after eight races but her best AW form (placed in 7f/1m handicaps on Kempton Polytrack) is very solid compared to most of what's on offer among her opponents; has further to go but probably bang there.

22-1 and green when last of six, beaten 21l, in a 7f fillies' novice at Yarmouth last August; should do better in time but not easily recommended today.

Fifth in two 1m AW novice/maiden events in February/March but failed to build on those efforts when beating only one rival home on her handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) two months ago; drops back to 1m with cheekpieces added.

Has been brought along steadily, a patiently ridden fifth of eight in 1m maiden here 25 days ago; not out of things on her handicap debut with the longer trip a plus for this Teofilo filly.

Last month's Chelmsford fifth (1m) was a good step forward from her 2yo debut effort; another leap forward is necessary to take this.

Form & Verdict
Down the field at Brighton in one 2yo run (7f, soft), after which he was gelded; better effort when fourth of 11 at Southwell five weeks ago (1m; hooded first time); open to improvement but likely it will be needed to win.

Best of three previous runs came when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell maiden (AW; first-time hood) in January but he was 28-1 and beaten 23l when finishing last here (1m1f, soft) on his handicap debut last month; still fairly early days but this new trip will need to spark plenty of improvement.

Tough to argue his opening mark is generous on bare form but he's more than hinted at ability and appeals as a potential improver back from a 100-day break.

Form & Verdict
Sent off a much shorter price than her winning stablemate in a valuable 7f maiden at Musselburgh in November and she went through that race with much more promise than her finishing position suggests, unable to get a clear run at things for much of the home straight; although the form hasn't really worked out, she could do much better this year.

This maiden is more exposed than some and not convincing on the stamina front in a couple of tries over 1m; also needs to improve on recent AW efforts.

Went close in a novice over C&D last month before finishing fifth at Kempton over 1m 17 days ago, not picking up as well as might have been expected early in the straight; the drop back in trip should suit and she has cheekpieces added.

Has shown ability in two of her three starts, the latest when beaten a head into second of five at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 16 days ago; will probably need to improve again if she to win this, though; stable also runs Miss Mambo.
