Form & Verdict
On the up this year, winning 7f handicaps at Southwell either side of a good second (1m) at Chelmsford; penalty for the latest win does mean further improvement will be required but that is quite possible.

In great form on AW early this year, winning four times; less reliable since, latterly on turf, but returns to this sphere off a handy mark and has persuasive stats, being 2-4 under Billy Loughnane and 4-7 in Class 6; may be the answer.

Well backed when running out the decisive winner of a 6f handicap here on Sunday, making all the running and finding plenty; contender on the face of it under a penalty but it looked a very weak race and this will demand further improvement.

Two C&D wins early in the year (from the front) and added a Hamilton handicap to his tally in July; solid effort over 7f here three weeks ago and returning to 6f should be beneficial.

Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when easily seeing off nine rivals in a 1m Southwell nursery last month; perhaps unsuited by the step up in trip when a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; a career best will be needed to defy this mark but it certainly isn't out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Two runs in classified events have seen her finish second, missing out by a nose at Southwell on Monday (7f) having looked sure to win when hitting the front inside the final furlong; has the ability to play a part but she flashed her tail and hung both ways at Southwell so perhaps isn't straightforward.
