0-12 but she should find a race on the pick of her turf form this summer and she acts on Polytrack; should be suited by the return to 5f in her first AW handicap at the trip and has to be considered.

11-race maiden who has finished second six times; needs to prove she can get the job done and it's possible that 5f is her optimum trip, but she has the best form in the field and this could be a good opportunity.

J: David Egan

Has proved ideally suited by 5f on good to firm and, despite taking a hefty rise for two June wins, he didn't take much urging to get to the front at Newmarket last time, before nudged out to hold the second; a further 5lb rise in a better race asks for more but he should be in contention; yard won this in 2019.

Prominent racer who returned to form to win over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and he followed up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last Saturday, with the front two clear; up 6lb for last time and this is tougher, but he's clearly progressive; key player.

Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when gamely landing a 6f handicap at Ripon (good ground) in April; beaten at short odds when fourth to Simba's Pride at Hamilton shortly afterwards and his form then dipped at Pontefract (5f) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should help; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded.
