Front-runner who returned to winning form under Chloe Lyons at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; has won on soft) last month, but has twice been held off this mark since; needs a bit more; stable also runs Adalida.

All six wins have been in Class 6s but he was close up in a Class 5 at Newmarket last time off 1lb higher; he was keeping on that day over 5f and now returns to 6f; respected.

Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives.

Missed last season but has come back an improved filly and now bids for a 5f hat-trick after classifed/handicap wins, latest at Leicester (good to firm) seven days ago when beating Dreambird Dolly by just over 1l; respected under 5lb penalty with further progress possible.

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.
