Form & Verdict
Only 3-32 and it took an age to win on turf, but after that Ripon success (5f, good to soft) she beat all bar a thriving winner at Windsor (6f, good to firm); big shout off the same mark and has form on undulating tracks.

Form & Verdict
3lb higher than when bang there in 7f handicaps at Redcar and Epsom but a greater concern is her no-show at Brighton last time; clear claims if shrugging aside that flop and she's probably quick enough for 6f.

Has won only a 5f novice on the AW but has placed in his last two handicaps, both over 6f on AW; has a race in him off this mark but his turf form doesn't read so well and Epsom will be a new experience.

Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark.

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer.

15-race maiden but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was a fair fifth of 12 here (1m) on his stable debut last Monday; did best of the prominent racers in that classified event and he could go well again back in a 7f handicap.

AW novice winner for his previous yard; 0-7 in handicaps but he wasn't far away when staying on well over 5f at Windsor on his debut for this stable and returning to 6f should benefit.
