J: Rob Hornby

T: William Stone

Off 19 months before this season; her second race back (seventh attempt overall) was her best when off the mark at 25-1 in a classified at Southwell (5f, AW) and in quite taking style too, so she needs a second look despite her handicap mark having been revised upwards in a major way.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: John Gallagher

Wore this equipment combination on last three starts, beaten a nose in a Brighton handicap (5.2f, good to firm) on first occasion and making all in a classified here (5f, good) on second; wide draw and interference leaving the stalls prevented those tactics at Windsor three weeks ago; 5lb claimer is on board this time; should be of renewed interest.

Went very close in first-time tongue-tie/blinkers in Brighton handicap (5.2f, good to firm) last month then made all in a classified at Leicester (5f, good); it took her a long time to post that first win but she came clear with a subsequent winner at Leicester and is unexposed in this headgear combination; can make another bold bid.

His losing run goes back to October 2024 and he was only fifth at Lingfield (5f, good) last month, but prior to that he was second over this C&D (good to firm) and the return to Windsor could be a plus for this two-time C&D winner; he's one to consider.
