Form & Verdict
Ended last year with clearcut win in 1m AW handicap at Lingfield in November; returned to action with a good second over C&D in March but her form slumped in two subsequent runs during the spring; still looks feasibly treated on her peak form but has something to prove again and she's now 1-14.

Took advantage of a handy mark in fillies' contest over C&D 12 days ago on seasonal debut, recording a third AW success; back up 5lb but Owen Lewis takes off a handy 7lb; looks likely to remain competitive.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 14th attempt when landing a C&D handicap last month and she backed that up with a close second under a penalty at Haydock (1m, good to firm); up another 2lb but this 4yo is as good as ever and she should make another bold bid back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-5 but she finished well to go close in Lingfield handicap (7f, AW) 16 days ago; nudged up 2lb but she split two rivals who raced more prominently last time and is a big player again with Hollie Doyle booked on this switch to Tapeta.

She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that.

Acts on any ground and was beaten less than 2l when seventh of 17 on last month's Newmarket reappearance (1m, good), but she is still 6lb above her last winning mark and 1m2f just appears to stretch her.

Well treated on her best form but she's a regressive ten-race maiden who finished out the back in a Doncaster handicap (7f, good) last Saturday; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
All three starts over 7f on AW and she's finished third over C&D and at Lingfield in last two runs; hood is now removed but she goes handicapping off what looks a fair mark and this well-bred filly should have more to offer; interesting contender for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Easy winner of a Salisbury novice last July (7f, good to soft); similar form in her next two starts but she ended last season with a disappointing run in Kempton handicap (7f, AW); still lightly raced but has bit to prove after 301 days off and she needs to resume her progress.
