Form & Verdict
Two starts for this trainer and much the better of them when third at Market Rasen last month; claims on that but all her wins (and best form) have come on good or quicker ground; rain a problem, therefore.

Back down the weights when reviving to win at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; back up 3lb today but strung together some solid efforts once she hit form last year, so another bold show looks likely.

Form & Verdict
Four novice wins last summer (for Fergal O'Brien), including on good to soft; fair third in a Warwick handicap on final start for him and again ran reasonably on the Flat recently, on stable debut; possibilities.

Hasn't won in more than two years and needs to bounce back from a quiet run over hurdles three weeks ago; is a deal lower in the weights than for a couple of runs over C&D last winter but may be on the downgrade and wants a good test over this trip.

J: Nick Slatter

Consistent over hurdles and on the Flat this year; holds no secrets from the handicapper but last month's Wincanton fourth (2m5f, good) was perfectly respectable and she'll be fine over today's shorter trip; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Her Southwell third in June (in a tongue-strap for the first time) was her best effort since winning at the same track a year earlier; could build on that but will definitely need to if she's to win this.

Generally very consistent but ran poorly over hurdles in May and not quite at her best on the Flat since; on a fair mark but she does appear to need good or quicker ground to be seen at her best.

Consistent dual purpose mare who was probably not ideally suited by the good to soft ground when respectable fourth at Stratford (2m) last month; on a good mark now and can go well if the rain stays away; usual tongue-tie removed.

Two starts since returning from a break and scrambled home last month over C&D in the second of them; only 2lb higher and plenty going for her assuming the ground doesn't deteriorate too much (handles good to soft).

Form & Verdict
Pulled up in a valuable event on her handicap debut last September but had won two novice races before that; has been in consistent form on the Flat this year, finishing close third at Epsom last month (good to soft); could well make her presence felt in this company.

Has won twice over C&D; didn't get the clearest of runs when second on her reappearance at Southwell AW (1m6f) in March; off since, normally runs in excess of 1m4f nowadays and needs to improve again to be involved here.
