Form & Verdict
Attracted support when making a successful stable debut at Bath (5.7f, good) last month; 3lb rise far enough, but something to prove back on a soft surface and dropped to 5f for the first time.

J: Georgia Dobie

Wins have come on good or softer but he ran fairly well on good to firm when second to Moonhall Lass at Salisbury three weeks ago; 9lb better off tonight but the winner had a good bit in hand and this one could have done without the summer weather arriving.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Four-time turf winner but he's 0-6 on AW and was well held over C&D on his stable debut three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he's drawn out wide here and others are preferred; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Front-running mare whose four wins last year came over 5f on ground ranging from firm to heavy; didn't build on a promising reappearance at Bath (5f, heavy) when well held there (5.7f, soft) three weeks ago, but could be allowed her own way in front here and no surprise if she bounces back.

J: Rossa Ryan

Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected.

T: Grace Harris

Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022.

J: Rossa Ryan

Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade.

Form & Verdict
No win since September 2022 but, having dropped down the weights, he ran better when third of six at Windsor (5f, good to soft) six days ago (form has already received a boost); placed in two of his three starts on heavy ground so has to be respected.

J: Jake Dickson

T: Rod Millman

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form.

Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114).

Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
1-1 over C&D (good to firm) and seems to act on any ground; not disgraced when fifth of 12 at Epsom (5f, good) 12 days ago and has dropped another 2lb in the meantime, leaving him 9lb below his last winning mark; big player.

J: George Downing

T: David Evans

12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form.

Form & Verdict
In fine form when completing a hat-trick on soft surfaces this time last year, but his last three starts including on last month's Wolverhampton return (5f, AW) leave plenty to be desired; could bounce back at some point and conditions should suit, but risky.
