Form & Verdict
Edging down the weights and pretty consistent in recent starts (AW at Southwell and Chelmsford; mostly claimer ridden) but that form looks a notch below what is probably required to win this.

Won three times for Michael Bell, two of them on Polytrack including here; poor the last twice and makes her stable debut after 66 days off having been picked up for 1,000gns in October; no headgear today and drawn wide; market informative.

Successful in 2021, 2022 and 2023; 0-6 and inconsistent this year; very well treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

Form: 507-51

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
This year she has been racing freely and carrying head high; hooded and upped to 9.4f when well backed at Wolverhampton five weeks ago in her second handicap, delivered late on and running on well for a clearcut win; 5lb higher today but has stamina in the pedigree and probably more to give.

Has good pedigree but she didn't progress in her three novice runs in the autumn and was last of five on her recent handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack); hood is now added and she needs improvement at this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (15 races) came over 1m3f on Kempton Polytrack in February 2022; none too consistent since, for instance with her close second at Kempton at turn of the year (same mark today) and two major backward steps since; well capable of a prominent finish if this is one of her good days.

Well handicapped on her best middle-distance form last year, including at this track, but she's been out of sorts in both runs this winter; this step back up in trip is a positive but she's now 1-23 and others are more convincing.

3 yo Filly

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Sole AW start was debut; a very different proposition once sent handicapping in the autumn, winning at Leicester (7f, heavy) and Redcar (1m, heavy) eight days later; lots about that second win suggests she will be suited by this extra 2f (dam 1m4f winner) and has potential; big chance if this surface proves okay.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: George Boughey

Dual heavy-ground winner last autumn who progressed again this spring over 1m2f and also ran well on her sole attempt at 1m4f; absent four months before her respectable fourth of seven at Chester seven weeks ago, a run she may have needed and it's possible she can resume her improvement.

Form & Verdict
First-time cheekpieces when getting on top in the final 1f at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) six weeks go, gaining her first win since debut in 2021; back up 3lb but that looks solid form, she was 15lb higher only last October and it's just possible she has turned a corner with the headgear.
