Form & Verdict
Dam placed in two Oaks', has bred two Group 2 winners; well back in all three starts, but has shown a glimmer of promise and has more going for her now handicapping over a stiffer test at 1m2f than on the AW this month.

J: Jack Callan

Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off.

Form & Verdict
Early races on AW, improving for 1m4f when winning at Wolverhampton in February but moderate at that trip the next twice; taken out of a good-ground race on intended turf debut but impressive over C&D (good to soft) latest; up 7lb on different ground but major player if handling it.

Form & Verdict
Minor handicap debut form at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) and although she fared better when runner-up to an improver at Bath (1m2f, good) this month, it wouldn't have been much of a race without the winner; some further improvement not ruled out though.

Dual C&D (good) winner this season, latterly when keeping on too strongly for Mr Lincoln last month; subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive and capable 10lb claimer Leah Noreci is booked but the forecast rain is a worry.

J: Brian Hughes

T: James Moffatt

Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Minor form in qualifying runs and although entitled to need the run on recent reappearance/handicap debut at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) she never looked likely to play a part; pedigree raises doubts about the step up in trip; reservations for now.

Seven-race maiden who has yet to be placed; wasn't beaten far when a rallying fifth at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) last week but she needs to find more more on this return to fast ground; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Unplaced all six starts; arguably ran better than bare form suggests when sixth of eight at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last month but needs combination of extra 2f and first-time cheekpieces to generate improvement.

Form & Verdict
Looked more potent when upped to 1m2f at Salisbury last month (good; third handicap), trapped on the rail then having to be switched before coming home powerfully to take a close third of seven (second has won since); back up 2lb but still has some potential at this trip.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
