Form & Verdict
On the up this year, winning 7f handicaps at Southwell either side of a good second (1m) at Chelmsford; penalty for the latest win does mean further improvement will be required but that is quite possible.

Has gained all eight of her wins over further (6f-1m); finished off well to be beaten around 2l over 5f on the AW at Lingfield 97 days ago; returns to turf having been off since and will need a good pace to aim at.

Well backed when running out the decisive winner of a 6f handicap here on Sunday, making all the running and finding plenty; contender on the face of it under a penalty but it looked a very weak race and this will demand further improvement.

Two C&D wins early in the year (from the front) and added a Hamilton handicap to his tally in July; solid effort over 7f here three weeks ago and returning to 6f should be beneficial.

T: Roger Fell & Sean Murray

Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when easily seeing off nine rivals in a 1m Southwell nursery last month; perhaps unsuited by the step up in trip when a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; a career best will be needed to defy this mark but it certainly isn't out of the question.

A 2l third of nine at Thirsk in August (7f, good) was the high point of her 2yo career; starts this campaign off a career-low mark and she's not a forlorn hope.

Just one win from 22 starts but she's had a couple of near-misses at Chelmsford (7f) this winter and was a respectable fourth from a tough draw at Southwell last time; still looks on a workable mark and she has possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Two runs in classified events have seen her finish second, missing out by a nose at Southwell on Monday (7f) having looked sure to win when hitting the front inside the final furlong; has the ability to play a part but she flashed her tail and hung both ways at Southwell so perhaps isn't straightforward.

Finished a narrow second in this race last year for previous connections; failed to beat a rival in three starts (all C&D) since returning for this yard in May; well treated now but she's very hard to recommend at present, with wind surgery the only obvious straw to clutch at.
