Form & Verdict
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her.

Multiple winner down the years, including at this track, and all ground seems to come alike to him; dropping back into Class 4 will help but his stamina has to be taken on trust.

Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf.

Sparingly raced since 2yo debut and not yet off the mark but she put in a spirited late dash in a valuable fillies' handicap on Lingfield AW (1m2f) in December, close behind the winner who was ahead of her mark; acts just as well on turf but has other unexposed types to contend with today.

Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.

Her wins after breaks of three months and four months are a positive as she returns from a layoff; resumes on a career-high mark, though, having closed out last year with a second on Tapeta, and she'll need to be spot on to win this; may be the one to lead.
