Form & Verdict
Placed in 7f seller for another stable last year but unraced beyond 6f since joining Tony Carroll; well below best form this year (four runs) but wasn't beaten far in 6f handicap here last month, having been short of room at a crucial stage, and can get closer to the target today.

Best effort this year when going close in Chepstow handicap (7f, good) three starts ago; record is just 1-32 but she has possibilities if taking well to first-time hood; sole win came at classified level.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well for narrow 7f AW handicap win in April and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth of seven in Class 5 event at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; lacked the pace to land a significant blow when third of five in Epsom handicap (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago but stuck to his task pretty well there, and a subsequent 5lb drop enables today's ease in grade; could be dangerous at this level if aided by first-time blinkers.

Has dropped a long way in the weights but she's yet to finish placed in her 13 starts and has been beaten 8l here and at Chelmsford (both at 7f) in last two runs; blinkers are now added on this return to sprinting but she makes little appeal.
