Form & Verdict
Stepped up on her sprint form when handicapping over 7f at Leicester 19 days ago, outpaced and still rather green for much of the way but keeping on stoutly to take a late second; this trip, if not further, looks sure to suit.

Back off the same mark as when winning at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last August, but not threatened in four starts since; heavy ground a likely excuse for last month's poor Windsor return, but still hard to recommend.

Lost her way after a Polytrack win last summer; is having her first crack at a slow surface on comeback (half-sister Romantic Time won on heavy) for a yard that's been quiet of late.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when landing a C&D nursery in August but she's been disappointing in both runs since; returns to Polytrack but she was beaten 13l when favourite at Leicester last time and needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
Well held by Princess Naomi on Beverley handicap debut (about 7f) but suited by being ridden more patiently on switch to AW at Lingfield 13 days ago (7f) when coming with a late run to lead near the line; form nothing special and raised 5lb but he is unexposed.

Exposed 3yo whose record is only 1-26; however, he's currently in a consistent vein of form and went down by only a neck at Lingfield (1m, AW) eight days ago; has a fighting chance off same mark.

Sole win (25 races) was in July 2022 over 7f here; consistent in recent outings, runner-up to Neptune Legend over C&D last time, and has a cracking each-way chance once again.

Form & Verdict
Signs of some ability at 6f/7f on AW and turf; although he does not look exactly thrown in on his handicap debut, he is bred to achieve more now upped to a more suitable trip.

Form & Verdict
Has improved at about 7f since handicapping, winning readily on Chelmsford Polytrack and again having something up her sleeve with the stiffer test at Beverley 21 days ago (fourth and the fifth Zakram have won since); up 8lb; should stay 1m round here; solid chance.
