Form & Verdict

Two 1m AW wins last winter; has slipped down the weights and gave notice she was ready to capitalise when finishing well for second at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (extended 1m), having to wait for a gap for much of the home straight; 1lb rise not insurmountable but might not be ideally suited if this gets tactical.

Form & Verdict

She didn't have to improve to win a Wolverhampton maiden in November (extended 1m1f); hit with a 3lb rise for that easy win but she could fare better now handicapping and dropping in trip might help.

Form & Verdict

Two AW wins to her name (1m and 7f); hasn't been able to cope with a big hike in the weights for a wide-margin win at Wolverhampton last summer; this is less competitive though and she's more appealing than many.

Form & Verdict

Had been banging at the door prior to a comfortable win in a small-field handicap at Lingfield last week (made all and found plenty); penalty to shoulder today and not weighted to reverse January's C&D form with Finery.
