Form & Verdict
Third in hot race at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and won at Newmarket (1m, good) next time; not beaten far in fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last time, despite interference, and that form is working out well; this improving 3yo can be in the mix if the forecast slow ground isn't an issue.

J: Duran Fentiman

Races prominently; divided progressive 3yos when second at Chester (10.3f, good) before her struggles in 1m2f handicaps at York; this is nothing like so challenging as her latest assignment but testing ground casts some doubts.

Prominent racer who finished held in fifth of nine over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago when last seen; however, she's won twice this season (1m/8.3f, good) and split two progressive fellow 3yos when second at Chester (10.3f, good) two starts ago; not discounted at likely big odds.

Has won handicaps around 1m on good at Newmarket and Hamilton in recent months; advanced her form again when second of eight at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) 13 days ago; one of two solid contenders for Tim Easterby.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to win at 12-1 at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month; showed promise on good to soft early in career; not ruled out but she was only sixth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time and needs to better that effort.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Consistent in defeat since winning over 1m at Ayr (good to firm) in May but looks to be biting off more than she can chew from out of the handicap in this higher grade; has raced mainly on good or firmer and needs to prove she's fully effective on softer ground.

J: Paul Mulrennan

Consistent since winning by a nose over 1m (good to firm; off 5lb lower) in May but lacked the pace to figure when third to a progressive winner over C&D 12 days ago; others appear better handicapped.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Had just two rivals to beat on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but she comfortably made all and this half-brother to connections' smart performer Point Lynas could have plenty more to offer; this unexposed 3yo may well take a 6lb rise in her stride; unraced on slow ground.

Made a winning start in handicaps over 1m here in May and doubled her tally at Beverley (8.5f) in July; posted a solid third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; very much one to consider with this slightly longer trip a likely plus.

Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in December and she's just 1lb higher today, but she's struggled back on turf on her three starts since April and a major turnaround is necessary.

Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away.

Course winner who is on a losing run but it was a fair effort when fourth to Sanafi Zabeel at Hamilton (8.5f, good) last time; gets a 5lb weight pull for that 2l defeat and the forecast rain would be welcome; respected.

Plenty of defeats at short prices since her last victory, here almost two years ago; she's more than capable off this mark, though, if the first-time headgear does the trick in a winnable handicap.

Form & Verdict
On a handy mark on her best form for Roger Varian (9.4f/1m4f); however, she made it 0-7 when tailed off at 33-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW); wind op since; transformation needed.

Eight-race maiden; left Roger Varian after disappointing run in the autumn and was well beaten on both starts for new stable this spring (1m2f/8.3f; had wind op in between); back up in trip with cheekpieces tried here; big leap of faith required to support her.
