3 yo Filly

OR: 72

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 21113 in handicaps and her latest front-running third at Nottingham (1m2f, good) was behind a handicap blot; returns from a break but she still has potential and her first win came over C&D; key player back on Tapeta.

Disappointed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago but she had been running well in defeat beforehand; stamina for this trip not yet assured and a tongue tie needs to have a positive effect.

Five wins last year, two of them at this track over the extended 1m (stays 1m2f); placed on her last three starts and Tommie Jakes' 7lb claim will be an asset today; unlikely to be too far away.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who has not progressed so far and has been well held in two handicaps this season; the step up to 1m2f may have stretched her at Nottingham last time but she needs improvement back at this trip.

An extended 1m1f here may have stretched her 15 days ago and she had run well at Kempton on her penultimate start; now drops back to 7f but it needs to prompt improvement.

Yet to win in eight starts and she wasn't at her best last time; on the plus side, she has run well here in the past and is now 4lb lower than for her Wolverhampton second in August; won't be far away if the addition of blinkers does the trick.

Form & Verdict
Landed the odds in Lingfield novice (7f, AW) last February but she struggled in handicaps on Tapeta and turf in final three runs last season; still lightly raced but has plenty to prove at this new trip after a year off.

Form & Verdict
Found plenty of improvement on her handicap debut when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but she flopped in her follow-up bid there 12 days later; left Archie Watson for £4,000 since and has something to prove again on her stable/Tapeta debut.

Finished down the field in three 2yo novice events, most recently when eighth of 16 at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft; 125-1); has had wind surgery and hood is now added on handicap debut but she needs something of a transformation after 316 days off.

Form & Verdict
Shaped with promise on AW at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f) in her first two starts in April before scoring on the drop to 1m at Southwell (Tapeta) last month; didn't have to improve to win last time but she battled well to seal the deal and should have more to offer in handicaps; respected.
