Form & Verdict
Last two wins have come off higher marks and having been stepped up in trip she looked unlucky not to win when third of ten over C&D in June; well held on turf since, but interesting back here especially as she remains unexposed over this far.

All wins at up to 8.5f; ran respectably in first-time blinkers at Kempton (1m3f) most recently, while shaping as if this drop back in trip will prove ideal; possibilities off same mark in the retained blinds.

Turf/triple AW winner who is probably in slightly better form than her two runs at Wolverhampton this year might suggest; blinkered first time on this first attempt over 1m3f (stays 1m2f); has form figures of 122334 when partnered by Hollie Doyle in handicaps; could play a prominent role.

Form & Verdict
Twice successful over C&D and returned to winning form at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; beaten less than a length into third of eight at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month and is closely matched with Give A Little Back on that form; shouldn't be far away.

Can start slowly and usually comes from off the pace; won twice at Kempton (1m, AW) earlier in the year and he's reached the frame in his last three runs, including a second here (1m, good to firm) in June; still unexposed on turf and he has shaped as though this step back up in trip could suit; in the mix.

Well beaten here (7f) in her first two starts in April, but has improved since especially once handicapping on turf; off the mark at Chester (7.7f, good) in June, but not so good over the same C&D (soft) three weeks ago; something to prove now back on the AW.
