Form & Verdict
Yet to add to last September's 2yo win but seemed to enjoy the return to positive tactics when second here (1m2f, good to soft) a week ago; competes off same mark again today and can cope with the drop back in trip.

All turf wins, including two fillies' handicaps this year, on good ground but she has form on soft; close third in similar event at Ripon most recently; likely player if taking well to added visor.

Her three handicap wins have all come from the front, including twice round here; back in form last Tuesday (9.7f; again didn't lead) but there's not much wiggle room off this mark and an easy 1m on quicker ground is a bare minimum now.

Form & Verdict
Opened account over C&D (good) in first-time visor in early June; hasn't kicked on from that success but didn't run badly over 1m2f here 12 days ago and is now 1lb below his winning mark; big player if today's headgear switch gives him a boost.

Form & Verdict
Won twice as a 2yo and added to her tally with ridden-out success at York (7f, good to firm) last month; recent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and today's return to 1m is unlikely to be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Ended three-race 2yo campaign with Redcar novice win (6f, soft) and was respectable third here (6f, soft) on seasonal/handicap debut in April; safely held after pulling too hard over 7f in June, though, and will need to settle much better to have any chance of seeing out 1m today.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May and finished close-up in sixth there 18 days ago; remains feasibly treated on his win in this race last year and he's 2-2 at Nottingham; interesting contender.
