Form & Verdict
Beaten a neck on heavy on debut, her only race on softer than good; this season's win came over 1m4f on the July course here (four ran) in August and she ran creditably on latest start, but better is needed.

Has won three of her last six starts including an Ayr Listed contest (1m2f, good) last month; ran well to finish fifth of 13 in a Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) 20 days ago and placed in both AW starts, but she may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type.

Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
After winning 1m4f/1m1f AW novices last summer she's been on the premises in three middle-distance handicaps but needs to find a bit extra; plus points are that she's had just six races and made good late headway at Ascot (1m4f) in July when last seen; unraced on softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Can make the running; unraced on softer than good; won two in a row on fast ground at Salisbury (1m2f novice and 1m4f handicap) this summer; found one too good for her in her two handicaps since and this return to 1m4f may well help; considered.

J: James Smith

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting.

Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises.

Form & Verdict
Won a 1m maiden on AW last September; not far away in her three handicaps this year, best effort on second start (1m2f); she's a free-going sort and latest outing failed to prove she stays 1m4f; unraced on softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Progressed well last term, best of that form when runner-up in this race (good; acts on soft); reappeared in May with two cracking performances in defeat; saddle slipped next time but she's been below form on both starts since; well handicapped if back to her best.

Three wins on turf in 2021 at up to 1m2f; made a good start to last season and although that form was not repeated, a fall in the weights meant she was not far away on two of last three starts; good record first time out heightens interest in her.

Form & Verdict
Lame after her Newmarket novice win (1m, good) last September; first run since when making all to justify favouritism in eight-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in August and she shaped as if she would stay further; more progress is surely likely after just three starts, so this handicap debutante is one to note.

Has progressed well in a busy year; her turf win (off a 20lb lower mark) was impressive in May on soft ground, which she's not encountered since; good turf placings before producing better still on AW last two outings, all 1m4f; failed to get run of the race last time but still finished on heels of the winner; highly respected.
