Form & Verdict
3yo who has found some improvement since handicapping, off the mark with a strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f, good; acts on good to soft) on latest start; up 5lb but that win gave plenty of encouragement for 1m4f.

No great shakes on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but did win three times at about 1m4f; however, it's been a poor start to his hurdling career.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish; 12th race when she made the breakthrough in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) on Monday, produced with a steady run from mid-division to lead over 1f out and finish well on top; that was an apprentice event (ridden by Mohammed Tabti) for which she is unpenalised today; major claims if she's in the same form six days later.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Regular at this track, including for two wins last autumn (1m1f/1m4f) and when scoring by a head from the front under Archie Young 18 days ago (1m3f, heavy); going back up 3lb still leaves him 3lb below reappearance mark; having ground softer than good looks important to his cause.
