Form & Verdict
Much improved since switched to handicaps and fitted with a tongue-tie, bolting up twice at Wolverhampton (1m4f/9.5f) in the last week; another 11lb higher (including a 6lb penalty) as she goes in search of the hat-trick but is still very much the one to beat.

T: George Boughey

Prolific winner (7-13 on Tapeta) who switches to a visor from cheekpieces having twice finished held off her career-high mark last month; this trip's as far as she wants in this company and she needs to find a bit more for the new form of headgear.

C&D winner who has only ever raced on the AW and has a fine straike-rate on it (8-17); not seen to best effect when fourth of six in a slowly run contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last Saturday, but should be suited by the return to this sort of test; shortlisted.

T: George Boughey

The winner of eight of her 13 runs in handicaps, taking another step forward with cheekpieces added when keeping on strongly over 1m3f at Southwell 16 days ago; four wins at this track, two over this trip, and she's one to take seriously.

Struck at the third time of asking for her in-form new stable when springing a 100-1 surprise from the front over C&D 14 days ago; up 4lb but promising Taylor Fisher takes 7lb off; likely to be in the shake-up.

First two wins over 1m4f (turf) and 1m2f (Polytrack) but found stamina reserves when upped to 2m over C&D on latest Flat start for previous trainer in February; poor hurdles form since but may have more to come at this trip back with former yard if jumping experience hasn't soured him.

Inconsistent type but he did win over this trip on Newcastle Tapeta in May; didn't help his cause by taking a keen hold through the early stages when a below-par fourth back there 12 days ago; Polytrack debut.
