Form & Verdict
Best effort in three novices last autumn when third of ten here (7f) on her second start, albeit she was still beaten around 9l; market useful now back to 6f on this handicap debut after 126 days off; has taken a good hold thus far and could do with settling better.

Looked one to follow when surging clear at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in April; things haven't gone to script since but is now only 3lb higher than for her win and she travelled well for a long way when a close fourth at Yarmouth on her penultimate run; dangerous back on AW.

Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break.

Yet to add to his turf nursery win three years ago but kept on for fourth off basement mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in August and did not enjoy the run of the race in 1m4f AW classified last time; considered each-way.

33-1 second in a Wolverhampton classified (8.5f, Tapeta) in March; didn't get the breaks when an eye-catching fifth on her penultimate start and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; kept on in the latter and this new trip could unlock a bit more; interesting.

Came to hand early, winning a 5f Ayr maiden on debut last April and following up at Kempton shortly after; progress has stalled since and she has finished down the field in three AW runs this winter; down in the weights but with enough to prove.

Prominent racer who won three 6f nurseries on fast ground last season; chance on this season's best too but he failed to fire on turf at Lingfield last time (blinkered for the first time and now tried in a visor); should have the pace to cope with this return to 5f.
