6 yo Filly

OR: 73

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but she recorded her ninth win when bouncing back to score at Ascot (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb for that narrow success but she still looks feasibly treated and is a five-time winner at this trip; respected.

Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Whacked up 10lb for his Doncaster romp (6f, good to soft) in May; has a mixed record in four subsequent runs but he finished well for fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time; beaten less than 2l in that big-field event and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Has won at Bath (5f, good to soft) and Salisbury (6f, good to firm) this season; comfortably held in second of three under a penalty at Bath last time but that was behind improver and he should get a better tow into this race; dangerous with visor added.
