Form & Verdict
Front-runner whose sole success in 15 starts came when making all at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in November; has run well to finish third at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) and Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) since the blinkers went on; may face competition for the lead, but should go well.

Looked to have a future when off the mark in a Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) in December, but not much has gone right for her in either start in 6f handicaps since; return to this trip may suit and if things pan out better she is capable of making an impact.

Serial slow starter who's done most recent racing over 7f and looked to find this trip stretching her a couple of times; capable if getting away and finding the race setting up for her but she's been expensive to follow in 0-50 company latterly.

Was returning from 143 days off when making a successful AW debut here (6f) in February and after finding the race not panning out his way back here later in month, he returned to winning form at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last time (two of these behind); should get a good pace to run at and much respected off 3lb higher.
