Form & Verdict
Shamardal filly who was far from disgraced behind a Godolphin newcomer at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last Saturday, taking form figures to 222; holds solid claims, despite being a beaten favourite the last twice, and could well go one better in this weak race back over 6f.

Won three times at Chelmsford when trained by James Tate; the return to AW has prompted further progress for her new stable and having seen off Aramis Grey at Wolverhampton she ran on well to score at Newcastle on New Year's Day; latest 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond her.

Up just 2lb for half-length win at Wolverhampton (6f) four weeks ago; now 4-11 on AW and can remain competitive provided she's as effective back up in trip; mixed record (1547) over 7f.

Form & Verdict
Never on terms and finished about 5l behind Shades Of Summer at Wolverhampton (5f) last Saturday when making debut; however, may well improve upped in trip with the experience under his belt; out of a 6f AW winner.

Got off the mark with an odds-on win in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, Tapeta) in January but he's not gone on from that in four runs since; was forced wide over C&D last time but he finished behind Porfin in that race and it took his record to 1-14; others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Unable to recover from a tardy start last time (blindfold was removed late); had a consistent spell in August/September but tends to hang and comes with some risk in that respect.

Soundly beaten at Wolverhampton over 5f last time but had previously shown ability on both turf and AW; will have to raise her game if she's to win on these terms, though.

Form & Verdict
Modest level of form in Britain this year, most recently third at Thirsk; however, leading player judged on the better of her two French efforts and this may be the time to catch her (second run after wind surgery).

Showed promise in two runs in France (7f/6f) last autumn but she's not been at the same level in three runs for new yard this season; still lightly raced and now goes back up in trip on handicap debut but she needs to raise her game significantly.
