Form & Verdict

Won at Redcar on debut last July and followed up under a penalty at Kempton four weeks later (both 7f); not so good in either handicap run but she may have needed this month's return from 379 days off and still has time to deliver on that early promise.

Launched career with two 7f wins last summer; faded into sixth of eight after racing too freely on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) just over a year ago and not seen again since but probably still has potential; dangerous to ignore.

Down the field in two turf races, latest at Sandown (1m2f) four months ago when facing a stiff task; closely related to an AW winner but gives the impression handicaps will be her ideal scene shortly.

Justified short odds in 1m Lingfield novice in September; the path hasn't been smooth in handicaps but she ran well for a long way here (about 1m1f) two starts ago and 1m2f stretched her next time; looks worth another go at 7f but this is competitive.

Improver who has won three of his last seven starts including when back from a break at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; up 4lb for that narrow success but he still looks feasibly treated and his first two wins were at this track; respected.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo whose consistent form figures (2222) don't tell the whole story as he's suffered odds-on defeats the last three times, latest at Southwell (7f) on belated seasonal debut; has the ability to win a race of this nature but is a frustrating sort who hasn't progressed as expected.

J: Daniel Tudhope

Has an underwhelming strike-rate, given his ability, but he was second of 22 off a good mark over C&D eight days ago and would surely have gone very close had he not met trouble in running from well off the pace; the problems today are that he's back up 4lb, drawn even wider and has another big field to negotiate his way through; huge player but plenty needs to go right.

Only start here produced a second over C&D (good to soft) in October and he got off the mark in a Lingfield classified (1m, AW) in January; not quite matched that in three starts since and yet to prove he's effective on quick turf; still can't be ruled out in a moderate contest.

Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up.
