Form & Verdict
Had a fine time for new yard on AW over the winter; encouraging return from an 81-day break when fifth at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; not so good over 7f on turf two days later but dropping back into a Class 6 is very much in his favour.

11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break.

Ready win here (6f) in January; generally held his form since and Monday's low-key effort at Wolverhampton is excusable as he saw no daylight in the home straight.

Form & Verdict
Multiple winner for Archie Watson; 0-7 for this yard but there have been more promising signs in recent starts and dropping into a Class 6 handicap will be in his favour; has less to prove than some of these.

The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out.

Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again.

Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over 5f but she has form at 6f; last two runs have offered hope that a return to top form is imminent; cheekpieces back on after a visor was fitted last time.

Lost all chance at the start when behind two of these over C&D (good) eight days ago and had run with some credit in three starts at Brighton prior to that, but losing run is up to 33 and her best form has come over shorter.

On a three-year losing run; however, has shown satisfactory form over 6f at Brighton since joining current yard, while shaping as if she's worth another crack at this longer distance; could go well.

Nothing like the force of old but she retains some ability and has run creditably in both starts for this yard, latterly finishing second over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; each-way claims; new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Ran respectably over C&D last month and got off the mark at the 15th time of asking when digging deep to win a 7f 0-50 classified event here on Thursday; more needed to defy a penalty back in handicap company.

Best run for a while when only just missing out over C&D (good) last week and, while a strike-rate of 1-30 is naturally worrying, she won't be far away with something similar.

In rude health in the autumn and was knocking at the door in the spring; gone off the boil more recently though and he was last of seven over C&D when last seen in June; a break since needs to have done him good.
