Form & Verdict
Half-sister to two useful winners but she didn't show a great deal in maiden/novice events (7f) and was last of 11 on her handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in November; still early days but she needs a transformation back on turf on her return.

Two wins as a 3yo came over a round 1m on soft ground and she's entitled to have come on for her Ripon return seven weeks ago; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Has record of 0-10 but he's finished runner-up in two 1m handicaps recently including a clear second over C&D (heavy) two weeks ago; travelled smoothly for a long way in that race and he still looks feasibly treated off 2lb higher here; key player.

J: Luke Morris

Went close in Chepstow handicap (1m, good; fine over 1m2f) in June and has strong form claims here if judged on that performance but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry; sports first-time cheekpieces; risky.

Now 2lb lower than when going close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and will also be suited by today's longer trip but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry.

Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move.

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden after ten starts but she's run some good races in handicaps (7f/1m), including when runner-up in the mud at Leicester (off 4lb higher) last autumn; still unexposed on turf and she could be dangerous back from a short break; cheekpieces removed.

Running well lately, chasing home a subsequent winner at Epsom (1m4f, good) last time; losing run is up to 17, though, so she may again find one or two too good.

Last won back in September 2024 but plenty of creditable efforts since include a third in this race (good to firm) last year; tried this headgear combination when beaten less than 2l at Windsor one month ago and she's got solid each-way prospects again.

80,000gns half-brother to a useful 7f-1m2f winner (including on soft); big prices and was always in rear in three maiden/novice event (7f/1m) late last year but he's been gelded since and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark; looks a possible improver and he needs watching in the market on his turf debut; blinkers added.

Four wins over the winter included a C&D success under George Bass when Mc'Ted was fourth, but he's been kept busy and last week's well-held sixth at Southwell was somewhat underwhelming; needs to bounce back.

Six-race maiden who has not finished closer than 6l to a winner and he was always in rear after a slow start at Kempton (7f handicap) on his recent stable debut; mark continues to fall but he has a lot to prove on this step up to 1m.
