9st 3lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Found late reserves to win this race (soft) 12 months ago but her form this year has been rather ragged; ran well enough for a long way back over C&D recently but her finish lacked the conviction of old and the fitting of headgear raises questions.

8st 12lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Ralph Beckett

Runner-up in 6f Listed races on the other course here and at Salisbury in the spring, but she hasn't been quite on song since, even allowing for some interference when third to Quinault at Chester last time; needs to bounce back but she's certainly a contender on her best form.

9st 0lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Ended last season with soft-ground Listed win at Newmarket and was runner-up twice in this grade in May (all 6f); needs to rebound from a disappointing Group 3 run last month but has a good draw here and features prominently in calulations.
