Form & Verdict
0-3 as a 2yo but she's shown improved form this year, winning a Ripon novice by 7l in May (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) before following up in a three-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; now 6lb higher in a more competitive race but she's well related and could progress further.

Zen Diva

9st 9lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Expensive to follow in her three starts as a 2yo but she returned as the form choice in an eight-runner fillies' novice at Ripon (6f, good) in May and won by 7l at 4-5 in first-time cheekpieces, going on over 1f out; that was an improved effort and she goes handicapping off a realistic mark.

Zen Diva

9st 2lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Expensive to follow as a 2yo, beaten favourite in both runs following her promising Newbury debut (6f, good); sets a clear form standard on her return from a 227-day absence; cheekpieces now reached for.

Form & Verdict
Won twice as a 2yo and has finished runner-up in three of her four starts this year, most recently at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; no obvious reason why she won't give her running.

Cotai Belle

9st 10lb

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Won twice as a 2yo and she has run well for second in a couple of stronger fillies' handicaps (6f, good) on her last two starts; Ethan Tindall's claim helps matters and she is high on the shortlist.

Chased home Beaujolais Nouveau at Ripon four weeks ago (6f, good) and she is 6lb better off for 2.25l; may find a couple stronger today.

Made all at Yarmouth (6f, good) in October off today's mark but she's been well held in three starts since, most recently at Newmarket last month; others have stronger claims.

Romantic Twilight

9st 3lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: William Stone

Best efforts last year came from the front but she had no chance of leading on her comeback behind Bintola four weeks ago thanks to a slow start; should do better then, but she was a big price at Windsor and is fully exposed now.

J: Paddy Bradley

Made all in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good; handicap debut) in October but raced freely before weakening over 7f nine days later; that's easily forgiven and she's not ruled out on this return.

Form & Verdict
4yo who gained her third success when winning over this C&D on good to firm 18 days ago, beating ten rivals; steps up in grade off a 5lb higher mark but there could be more to come on turf.

Amelias Joy

9st 9lb

J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

Two AW wins (7f) this year and she ran as well as she ever has when second of ten in a handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 19 days ago; having a rare 6f run but she isn't short of speed and her usual hood is now discarded; one to take seriously.

Dual 7f AW winner since fitted with today's headgear combination in March and both recent turf runs were perfectly respectable; probably won't be far away.
