Form & Verdict
Out of a fairly useful 7f/1m2f winner; soon detached from rest of the field on recent debut at Catterick (6f, heavy) but caught the eye making good late headway to take third; not an easy one to predict on this different surface but evidently has some ability.

Has form figures of 133 in 6f/7f events on AW and retains low mileage; just needs to bounce back from a poor effort (back from layoff; not beaten entirely by 1m trip) here last week.

Only had the five starts and looks better on AW than turf on the evidence so far, including a win here (6f) just over a year ago; third in both handicaps over 7f on Tapeta at the start of the year and although not seen in eight months, she has gone well fresh before; one for the shortlist.

6f course novice winner in September and shaped well back from a break when keeping on for a never-nearer third on 7f Southwell handicap debut a week ago; much less exposed than today's opposition and looks capable of winning off this mark; same trainer/jockey took this race last year.

J: Neil Callan

The least exposed contender; made all for comfortable win at Wolverhampton (6f) last month, taking record to 2-5 and beating a couple of subsequent scorers; could well improve further and defy a 5lb rise, provided she takes to Lingfield (first run here).

Looked on the up when making all in 6f Chelmsford maiden but she raced too freely when only sixth of seven on her handicap debut at Kempton (6f) later in January; she's well worth another chance off a handy-looking mark after her break.

Form & Verdict
Exposed after seven starts and has become rather disappointing but ran fairly well when third of six in first-time blinkers (retained) at Redcar (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; today's move back up in trip ought to suit; major player in a modest race.

Form & Verdict
Bettered her debut run when keeping on for respectable fifth of 14 at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October; not seen again since and needs to learn to settle better but combination of drop in trip and first-time hood might aid her cause; enters calculations.
