Form & Verdict
Placed in a first-time hood at Lingfield (1m2f, Class 6 AW) in January, but has seemingly lost her way since and was a well beaten sixth of seven at Chelmsford (1m2f) latterly; plenty more needed in the hands of a very capable 5lb claimer on return to turf.

Serial hard-puller who hung right and made her move very wide over 1m6f here a month ago; that was a decent effort in the circumstances and she's one to consider for a trainer who won a division of this last season.

Dual turf winner; went very close at Bath (11.5f, good to firm) on stable debut in September but she's been well held in both runs this season and latest was over 1m6f at Bath; now takes another step up in trip but she has questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Made her debut in France (Cagnes-sur-Mer); triple-figure odds, and beaten in excess of 20l on both GB starts (1m2f-1m4f novice; AW); this low-level turf handicap (debut) appears more suitable, albeit others hold much more compelling claims.

Consistent at her level on the AW (mainly over 1m-1m4f) and wasn't beaten far when placed in a similar 0-55 handicap at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 11-2) on penultimate run; sports first-time cheekpieces, with the switch to turf another potential reason for some improvement.

Form & Verdict
Low-key on first three AW starts and didn't find much off the bridle when stepping up to 1m5f at Chelmsford (last of four, with today's rival Steven Seagull 2.5l ahead in second); she is a half-sister to a 1m AW/1m4f turf winner, which does offer a ray of hope.

Made all in two juvenile hurdles for Adam West last summer; not much has gone to plan since but she'll find this much less competitive than the two valuable handicaps she contested for Dan Skelton this spring (held up in rear both times) and may benefit from a return to more positive tactics.

No positive angle to take from his first three starts; fared better gelded on recent return to action at Chelmsford (1m5f, Class 6 AW; second of four; 11-1); although that wasn't overly competitive, this race isn't either, so he could have a significant role to play.

Half-sister to four winners, including the 2017 Chester Cup hero Montaly (peak RPR 114); hasn't shown much yet in three novice/maidens (AW & turf, upto 1m3f); could fare better for faster ground and the switch to handicapping at a realistic level; possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Ran to a similar level of juvenile form in three attempts on AW (1m); tackles a new trip on a different type of surface for handicap debut, with her pedigree - French Listed winning dam (9.5f-1m2f) being a half-sister to a winning stayer - implying that the extra yardage should be within range.
