Form & Verdict
Achieved one of her best RPRs when back from a break at Thirsk last April (runner-up; 6f, good) and when starting out for George Baker following a break at Kempton in November (6f; won when sporting this headgear combination for the first time); not quite so effective in two runs since but yard is now red hot; respected; withdrawn after showing reluctance to post at Salisbury recently.

J: Benoit De La Sayette

Kempton win last autumn came when she was fresh, as did her Leicester victory three weeks ago (during a good spell for yard; gone quieter since); a 5lb rise for winning that small-field affair from the front will test her.

Calafrio

9st 7lb

J: Kyle McHugh

T: George Baker

Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark.

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Beaten after trading at 1.23 in running at Wolverhampton in March, then recorded third win for James Owen there (6f; beat Rye by 2l); having first run on turf for the yard when weakening into sixth over C&D when last seen in April; absence of regular headgear is a concern this evening.

Von Krolock

9st 5lb

J: Christian Howarth

T: James Owen

Won on Polytrack in Ireland; three Wolverhampton AW wins for this yard, seemingly suited by the return to 6f when drawing clear in April; respectable efforts on turf either side of a break since (visor discarded latest, blinkers now refitted) and he's relatively unexposed at this trip on the AW so could have some improvement to come.

4 yo Filly

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Placed just once in first 13 starts but has hit form of late, defeating 15 rivals at Doncaster last month (6f) and did the business over C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; her second in between those wins is strong form for the grade; will take all the beating off just 2lb higher than last time.

9st 0lb

J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

Enjoyed a good summer at a lower level but a slow start did for her when odds-on in a small field a fortnight ago; clearly well suited by a stiff 6f and this will be a different test against a better class of opponent.

Melissa Honey

9st 6lb

J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month when returning from 137 days off (typically started slowly); tongue-tie returns and is a dual winner on turf (5f; one on good to firm) but hard to support.

T: Max Young

Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark.
