3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Record is only 1-12; well treated on best efforts but is starting to go the wrong way and ran to nowhere near her rating in 5f seller most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time cheekpieces.

Back in good form since having wind surgery and returned to turf from AW, winning comfortably over C&D (good) then creditable second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f); back on career-high mark but still looks shortlist material returned to this scenario.

First two wins at 6f but it was only a matter of time before she won over 7f and was a clear winner over this C&D recently (good; fourth has won big-field York race since); up 5lb but on the crest of a wave.

Form & Verdict
Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear.

A hood has helped in recent starts, winning at Newcastle (6f) in March and running creditably in turf handicaps (6f/5f, both good ground) twice last month; needs more to come out on top here.

Form & Verdict
Registered a novice success last July and good effort on handicap debut in September but not in the same form since; hopes of a resurgence are mostly pinned on the drop in grade off a reduced mark.

Haydock novice (6f, good) winner who made pleasing handicap debut when third of 12 at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September; finished last on final two starts of last year but reappearance fifth of 13 at Ripon (6f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) wasn't a bad effort three weeks ago; now needs to build on that.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced filly who most recently prevailed in Southwell maiden (6f; kept to AW) on seasonal debut; pedigree suggests she should do better still and prove as effective on turf; respected handicap debutante.

Made a winning seasonal debut over C&D in April; the handicapper has been in command since and the fitting of blinkers didn't help at Newcastle 12 days ago; headgear left off this time and she now drops into her first Class 6 handicap; could bounce back to her best.

Won her maiden over C&D on debut this time last year (went in again on turf the following month); has struggled badly off a sliding mark this season but offered more in first-time cheekpieces last time and the return to sprinting back here should help.
