Form & Verdict
Returned from break with good 5f AW win in February; not quite at same level in recent weeks but her third at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) two starts ago was perfectly respectable and she's back on a good mark now.

Made most of the running to win at Nottingham (5f, good) in May, but she bled next time and has been off for 105 days since; bit to prove now off a career-high mark.

Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Lisa Williamson

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.

Form & Verdict
In career-best form this season, most notably when getting up close home to score over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago; won't mind if the ground is much quicker today and probably won't be far away.

Seven-time winner (once on heavy ground) but not since 2024; safely held on all three starts this season (5f-6f) and her handicap mark bottomed out a while ago; revival needed.

Form & Verdict
Looked as good as ever when winning cosily over 6f here (good) last month and coped fine with drop back to 5f when second at Chepstow (good to firm) on Friday; obvious contender.

Two of her nine wins have been over C&D; has been running well in defeat until fluffing her lines at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month; hasn't won off a mark this high but may go close if back to her best.

A three-time course winner (including over C&D); comes here on the back of solid placed efforts in 5f handicaps at Nottingham and Goodwood this summer so ought to be thereabouts.

Nine wins on a variety of going, the latest in Class 5 at Bath (5.7f, good) in June off 6lb lower; better than ever when second at Nottingham four weeks ago; should be in the thick of it.

Form & Verdict
Ought to have coped much better with the soft ground with struggling in consecutive 6f races in spring but, having swapped cheekpieces for refitted blinkers, steadied the ship with very respectable fourth in more competitive race than this at Newbury (5f, good to firm) this month; not easy to predict but has slipped to a very tempting mark.
