Form & Verdict
Having been outpaced she kept on for a fair fourth of seven at Bath (1m, good to soft) this month on her second start of the season; showed stronger form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last August and she's one to consider now back up in distance.

Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here.

Boasts a good record here (1m2f winner last month off 4lb lower) and will be happier back down in class having hung right at Windsor last time; this trip's a bare minimum now, unless the ground eases (seems unlikely), but the big field will help.

Form & Verdict
Built upon last August's debut third (1m, AW) when winning a fortnight later (1m, AW), and followed up in Goodwood novice (1m2f, soft); reappeared with solid third on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) and he's open to further improvement today, provided he handles the conditions; respected.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
0-7 since debut win but, having been gelded, he was an encouraging fourth on his reappearance over C&D (good) last month when hampered by the winner; soft ground at Chester may not have suited a fortnight ago and no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance today.

Three wins at up to 1m2f for Charles Hills and back on the up at the third time of asking for new connections when making all at Kempton (1m) a fortnight ago; sold for £200,000 on Monday; likely to be popular under Dettori but may not find it as straightforward to control this race from the front from her wide stall.

Form & Verdict
He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Ayr (1m2f, good) last July and it's possible he'll get back on track following a break; however, he was well beaten last July/September on his last two Flat starts and failed to shine over hurdles in November; returns with something to prove.
