Now 311 over C&D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Four AW races, with fair form in her three this season; latest start was her closest finish when running on from towards rear to be sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f) early last month, beaten just over 2l; has the same mark today and something to build on.

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham 13 days ago; this longer trip promises to suit so she's a player in her bid for a breakthrough success.

All three starts over 1m at Southwell, showing fair form when reaching the frame on the last two; out of a 1m3f winner so the step up in trip could be a good move now handicapping.

Form & Verdict
Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that.

Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally.

Form & Verdict
Won at Musselburgh (1m1f) last April and went close here (1m, again on good) next time, but that form has not been repeated; well down the weights, so the second of his three runs this season offered some hope.

10st 3lb

J: Mr Aiden Blakemore

T: Sara Ender

Handicapper quick to ease off this spring and he turned in his best effort for this yard when fourth behind Sisterandbrother at Doncaster last weekend; inclined to over-race back in cheekpieces there and has to prove he can do it on the AW.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Sara Ender

Won on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last April but he's 0-9 since and has been well held in four runs this year; now 10lb lower than for his win but he weakened quickly at Nottingham three weeks ago and others are preferred; cheekpieces (tried once last year) are reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Edward Smyth-Osbourne

Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive.
