Form & Verdict
Had plenty of racing but unearthed her career-best RPR when scooting clear at Redcar last week (6f, good to firm); looks sure to go up further than her 5lb penalty when reassessed; obvious claims.

14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

Form & Verdict
Snapped a losing run when emerging from off the pace to win over this trip on fast ground at Lingfield last week and, having been due a 2lb drop, she is effectively only 3lb higher for this; that was a weak race and this could take more winning.

9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher.

Best of her four runs was first time out last season; hasn't progressed and didn't show a lot on her handicap debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm); going sprinting is a change in direction.

6f and 7f AW winner; placed three times over 6f on good; only seventh when tried in this headgear combination at Catterick (6f, good to firm) but didn't get chance to show what he could do after a troubled run; can be given another chance.

Form & Verdict
Now 7lb lower than for last summer's win at Kempton (6f, AW) but unplaced in his other ten starts and, while heavy ground was perhaps too much on his reappearance, it remains to be seen whether he wants it this fast; cheekpieces now tried (hood/blinkers did nothing for him).
