Form & Verdict
Modest form in her three Irish races and no better in the two in Britain, although she has been more competitive with the switch to handicaps (5.7f/6f); needs to build on that with today's step back up in trip.

Didn't fire on Polytrack ten days ago but pipped a dual subsequent winner when opening account at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month and is not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip; contender if quickly back on song.

Seemed to appreciate the stiff finish when off the mark at Leicester (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago, winning by a neck; only 1lb higher even though the runner-up is 2-2 since, but she has a much sharper track to deal with this time.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in May and second in two of his last three starts; latest at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) six days ago was just a six-runner race but it looks like he will be bang there again.

Made it 3-3 in cheekpieces when winning by 2l at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month and again ran well when a clear second under a penalty there (1m) last week; looks interesting off same mark here and he's a key player on this drop back in trip.

Just the one win from 15 starts, gained over 6f on good ground; however, last week's C&D run was the second time she's finished runner-up on soft and a repeat won't see her far away.

Yet to win this season but went close here (7.3f, good) last month and was denied a clear run when fifth of 11 at Bath (1m, good) nine days ago; also ran well the only time she encountered soft ground (unraced on heavy); can make her presence felt.

Generally disappointing this season but lost out by only a head off her basement mark at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and is probably worth another crack at 1m; contender if in the right mood again.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner on last two outings; not proven on firmer than good after three attempts, two before she went handicapping and the other on reappearance; it's therefore possible to forgive those and, after two wins (7f) and two seconds from her last five starts, she needs major respect.

Made all in a C&D classified (soft) in June and returned to winning ways in a handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; a 5lb rise takes her to a career-high mark but she's entitled to respect.

C&D winner off 7lb lower in May who went in again at Ayr in June (made all on soft ground); back in form when a distant second to Taaklam on Tapeta eight days ago but stall 12 isn't great for one happiest on the sharp end.

Versatile filly who has won twice on turf (7f, good/soft) this season and was a good third over 6f on her penultimate run; flopped at Redcar last time but she's been generally reliable this year and has claims if she can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Low-level maiden after seven races, which has still resulted in minor honours in three handicaps over 1m/7f before her form dipped over 6f on latest start; even best form needs improving on.

Form & Verdict
Ran poorly at Redcar on latest start but went into that in good form, including for a narrow Redcar win; all ten races have been 6f but he looks worth a go at 7f; one to consider even though he may need to bounce back with some improved form.

Tailed off in his last two runs but he's a dual winner who bounced back when beating 13 rivals at Redcar (6f, good) in May; that form puts him in the picture and yard has won this race in last two years; not ruled out.
