Gladiadora

The last of her three wins came here over 7f in March; some notable runs since then (including 1m) and respected for all that her latest at Wolverhampton wasn't one of those.

T: Charlie Clover

Runner-up at Kempton (1m; 11-4 favourite) on penultimate start, and didn't get the breaks at Windsor (1m) subsequently; has a few foibles - unseated rider in the paddock at Newmarket - but she's still a possible from 2lb above last winning mark.

Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip.

Newcastle win this time last year came off a 7lb higher mark; well backed on the drop to this company at Carlisle a few weeks ago, when faring much better, and is one to consider (likely to be dropped in as usual from the outside stall).
