Form & Verdict
Four poor efforts for her current yard this year having been picked up for 42,000gns last backend; the handicapper's been quick to ease off and she's another 5lb lower but has little to recommend her.

Sprung a 40-1 surprise over 5f at Chelmsford last summer and she's now rated 3lb lower; that is a result of some poor form since though and she has enough to prove from the widest stall.

Form & Verdict
Again pulled hard back from a break three weeks ago and off the back of it she drops to 5f for the first time since handicapping; she's usually dropped in and whether she has the toe for this trip round here remains to be seen.

Still to win after 14 starts and has had plenty of chances at this sort of level; holds claims on her latest Musselburgh second, though, as well as her three previous runs here, which all came off a 4lb higher mark.

Started nursery life on an unrealistic mark last season and has clicked since dropped to this level on the AW in a tongue-tie; has finished well held in two previous runs over 5f but holds decent claims otherwise.

Form & Verdict
Soft ground probably wasn't ideal when last seen two months ago and she'd previously shown the right attitude to win two on the spin, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; is one of the likelier winners.
