Form & Verdict
Slugged it out well when a close third at Thirsk on debut (7f, good to soft; ground changed to soft after the race); Listed race was beyond her at Deauville last week (6f) but this is more her level and she has a form chance if none the worse.

Won a weak maiden last year (6f, soft) but has offered precious little in three handicaps (5f/6f) and has changed yards; stayed 7f on debut but unraced over this far.

Came on from belated debut when finishing second of 11 at Salisbury 18 days ago (6f, good); however, he was reported to have run free to post that day, then withdrawn after proving difficult to saddle on Sunday; clearly not straightforward and heavy ground is an unknown.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: John Butler

Showed promise last summer in novice/maiden races; has tumbled down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting now back from a break, but he struggled on his four starts earlier this year; plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Has twice got loose before the start, doing well to last as long as she did when third over 6f at Lingfield in June (good to firm); lesser form effort but kept on well enough when fourth on the drop to 5f at Leicester (soft) and proven form in the mud counts for plenty.

Two promising runs, shaping well on slow ground on Newbury debut (7f) and showing better form when third of seven at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) despite getting loose beforehand (did so again at Nottingham last week and was withdrawn); free-going filly who should be fine dropped back to 5f; hood sported thus far is now left off.

Two promising runs this season, shaping well on slow ground on debut (7f) and showing better form when third of seven at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month in a race that looks solid; got loose beforehand on that latest occasion, so the run can probably be upgraded a touch; this free-going filly should be quick enough for 5f and she's still capable of better.

Form & Verdict
Highly tried and out of depth on AW last week but had earlier shown promise when runner-up to an emphatic winner at Pontefract in July (1m, good to soft); needs to show he has the speed for 6f and handicaps look a more likely proposition after this.

Only fourth of six on soft ground at Ffos Las (6f maiden) and conditions were good when going down narrowly to an improving rival on his handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good); it's too early to draw any firm conclusions on ground preferences and he has appealing form claims off just 2lb higher.

6 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Has Flat and jumps influences in pedigree and may fare better at this game after showing little in bumpers and over hurdles for two yards; it's a stretch to fancy him for a 6f maiden, however.
