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.

Form & Verdict
Weighted to best in 7f and 1m AW handicaps but he showed he had more going for him at 1m2f when upped to this trip at Wetherby (good) this month, when keeping on well into second of eight; thereabouts off the same mark.

Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge.

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.

0-22 on the Flat and 0-7 over hurdles; sold out of Matt Crawley's stable for 3,400gns after well-held fourth at Fakenham (2m, soft) in February but ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here, and could plausibly have been perked up by her new regime.

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.

3 yo Colt

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.

0-15 but he had a near-miss at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month before a close fourth over C&D when not a lot went right; looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse on slow ground at Hamilton last time; not ruled out back on AW.
