Form & Verdict
Showed promise in her first two starts before landing a 6f Salisbury novice (good to firm) two weeks ago; has more to do off this mark on her nursery debut but she's open to more progress on this step up to 7f; respected for yard that has won this three times in last ten years.

J: Dane O’Neill

Went the right way as a juvenile and kept on doggedly when winning a 7f Newmarket handicap in August (good to firm); couldn't rise to the occasion in Listed company after but the likely strong pace today will suit now back at 6f; fitness does need to be proved, though.

Form & Verdict
Made it 2-4 when scoring on her nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and she caught the eye with her strong finish out wide at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last time; was only beaten 1l in that race and she should have more to offer at this trip; interesting contender.

Won last April and last July and ran well afterwards as 2yo, all over 6f/7f, but no sign of that form in her two runs this season; upped to 1m and needs major overall improvement.

Won twice during a busy and consistent opening campaign; however, down the field in a strong 6f handicap at York 11 days ago and this looks a big ask on the balance of her form; soft ground would be an unknown.

Won a C&D nursery (6f, good to firm) last July and continued to run well subsequently; she's Karl Burke's sole runner but this is her reappearance and she has to be better than ever if she's to land this hot handicap.

Form & Verdict
Made it fifth time lucky with her game win on the step up to 7f in Doncaster nursery (good to firm) last Thursday; up 3lb for that narrow success but that was a a clear personal best from this well-bred filly and she could continue on an upward curve; stablemate of Mehme.

Form & Verdict
Won a Carlisle novice (5f, good) on her debut in May; had tough task in Queen Mary on her second start but she's not threatened in 6f nurseries in her last two runs; this step up to 7f could help but she probably needs a clear personal best to make a big impact in this competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when making all in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) two weeks ago; that was a good opportunity but she scored with plenty in hand and her confidence should be boosted after that success; hard to rule out another bold bid back on turf on her nursery debut.

Now 4lb lower than when winning a 1m Kempton nursery in September but she's been well below that level in her four outings since; needs first-time blinkers to have a positive effect.
