Form & Verdict
Two wins last season included one over C&D and she has hit the ground running since returned to turf last month, winning easily at Redcar (6f, soft) and going down narrowly in a 15-runner contest at Thirsk (6f, soft) despite an 8lb rise; major claims provided the ground doesn't dry out too much.

All wins at 6f on slow ground; has form figures of 121 since returned to turf this spring, the latest success at Hamilton, and looks better than ever; big player under 5lb penalty provided she's as effective back at 7f.

Triple AW sprint winner; placed six times over 6f on turf, mostly on a sound surface; latest was a career-best turf run at Hamilton (good to soft); a similar effort would see him go close and he appeared to handle this track over 5f in 2021.

All three wins over 6f on good to soft or slower but effective on quicker surfaces; only just above his winning mark at Redcar in April but has lacked the pace to make an effective challenge in three C&D attempts.

Ran well on her promotion to Class 4 level at Hamilton (6f, good; blinkers returned) but she kept on after getting outpaced and a stiff 6f suits her well; long time since she was seen over 5f and this test may find her out.

Not easy to win with but he comes here in much better form than his numbers suggest, running into trouble on each of his last two starts; stepping back up to 6f may help and there's no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark granted a bit of luck.

Consistent over 6f-8.5f since last October (record 21332) and beaten a neck in 17-runner contest at Doncaster (7f, soft) nine days ago; should be fine on this stiff track and a 4lb rise for that latest effort is not the end of the world, but she wouldn't want the ground to dry out.
