Form & Verdict
Six-time winner including four on turf (good/soft); runner-up in final two starts last season but she struggled at Wolverhampton (6f) in her final run last year; this drop back in trip looks a good move on her return but her last three wins have been in Class 5 events and others are preferred.

Made all from stall 2 here a fortnight ago under Myla Coppins; she's up in class and the weights (raised 6lb), while stall 7 isn't absolutely ideal.

Six-time winner; effective at this track and she arrives on the back of a good second under Myla Coppins at Nottingham (5f, good) three weeks ago; has a low draw and looks set for another big run.

J: Barry McHugh

T: Paul Midgley

Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender.

Acts on good to firm and soft; ten-time winner but her last four turf wins have been at Beverley and she's been out of sorts in three runs this year; has something to prove and she needs a big turnaround.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have been at 5f on turf (good/good to firm) and she's been beaten less than 2l in her last two starts; looks weighted near best off this mark but she should go well again.

Won a 5f handicap off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; she has run some fair races this year but her latest effort (tried in cheekpieces, usual visor back on today) wasn't one of them; no surprise to see her bounce back quickly.

Running creditably this season and she is closely matched with Elegant Erin on their Nottingham run 13 days ago; suspicion she is vulnerable again here though; cheekpieces replace a visor today.

3yo maiden who is often highly tried; seemed to run well, despite traffic issues, in the Scurry over C&D on penultimate start; however, chance of finally winning depends on the effects of new headgear.

Appeared to run creditably when a 50-1 shot in Listed races the last twice, albeit taking record to 0-12; technically in form but she's the only maiden in this field and has the worst chance at the weights.

Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.
