Not beaten far in two muddling races this year, more recently when third of four in Lingfield maiden (1m2f) last month; remains unexposed but the value of her form is open to question and the other two handicap newcomers here appeal more.

3yo who made all in good style at Newbury (13.2f, good) last month and was a good second at Ascot (2m, good) seven days later; flopped at Glorious Goodwood but the track/busy spell were possible excuses and she could bounce back with a bold show following a 17-day break.

Won three of her six handicaps; scored comfortably from the front at Newbury (1m5f, good) 12 days ago and beat all except the hot favourite at Ascot (2m, good) five days ago; up another 2lb but the step back down in trip asks the chief question.

Won against his own age-group here (2m, soft; also suited by good) in December and has finished close up on all three outings since (1m7f-2m); must be considered on this first attempt at 2m4f.

Consistent for a while now and, although beaten off this mark on his last two starts, it was a pretty good handicap in which he went down narrowly at Newbury the last time (2m, good to soft); thereabouts if gelling with Jude Fernandes.

Form & Verdict
Led close home to make winning nursery debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) in October and lost out only by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight later; tad more exposed than her three rivals here but ought to be suited by today's step up in trip.

Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this.

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback.

J: Oisin Orr

Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive.

Form & Verdict
Began career with two promising 1m runs in the autumn and was placed at Chelmsford when upped to 1m2f in December; gelded last month and now moves up in trip again for today's handicap debut.

Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered.

Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off.
