Form & Verdict
Unlucky not to go closer at a big price on her comeback and was heavily backed when narrowly beaten by Under Curfew at Bath eight days ago; has every chance of turnings things round on 4lb better terms, especially if first-time headgear helps.

J: Jack Callan

T: Malcolm Saunders

Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too.

Form & Verdict
Four-time course winner in 2022 who offered something again at Nottingham, another course she is suited by, last Friday; tough to win with these days but she can never be ruled out round here and Tom Marquand 9-42 for the yard.

Most wins have come in the second half of the year, mainly on turf, and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught first time out; others have more pressing claims.

Capable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted.

J: Luke Morris

It was an uncompetitive four-runner classified event in which she finished second at Ffos Las nine days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but this will demand more of her.

Form & Verdict
Has improved for a couple of runs in previous seasons, so it was encouraging to see her go close at a big price on comeback three weeks ago (6f, Tapeta); there's not much wiggle room off this mark but she's respected.

Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though.

Dual course winner off slightly higher marks last summer, beating Jacquelina and Rhubarb on his C&D comeback; he is a very short price to blow the start, however, and he's struggled in his two runs this spring.

Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective.

Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising.

Well held in two AW runs over 7f last autumn before a wind operation; showed more on her turf debut late last month (5.7f, soft) and starts handicap life on a lowly mark; interesting to see how she goes in the betting.

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft.
