Two wins for Clive Cox; bang there in both her runs for this yard and didn't have the ideal track position last time at Haydock (5f, good to firm); below par on only previous run on ground slower than good, so watch the weather.

Placed in her first two starts for this yard before bolting up in a Class 4 handicap at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); she's come up well short in two Listed events since, though, and is likely to do so again here.

4yo who posted a career best when easily winning Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to firm) in June, but she's since been soundly beaten in a Listed race at York (5f, good to soft); others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) and again when following up over C&D (good to firm), defying what was effectively a 3lb higher mark despite her penalty; has another 2lb to deal with here and would have something to prove on ground slower than good.

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims.

Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival.

August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though.

Has only run on good to firm; won her first two as a juvenile (including here) before struggling in a Listed race; hooded for her handicap debut over C&D and could improve on that close third behind Champagne Sarah.

Form & Verdict
Made a bold bid with cheekpieces added when runner-up over 5f at Windsor (soft) and reportedly found good to firm too lively when tailed off on his return there; could go well with rain about.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Rachel Cook & John Bridger

Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions.

Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this.
