Form & Verdict
Has won three of her five handicaps and did well to cope with the drop back to 5f last time at Chepstow (good to firm); won that readily and, although up 6lb, this 6f winner is progressing well.

Six-time sprint winner who handles any ground; has faded in both runs this season but she's well treated on her best form last year including a front-running win at Windsor last summer; one to keep an eye on.

Kept to 6f so far; competitive in all three runs last season but his opening mark looked tough at Doncaster (good) and so it proved; down 3lb and that's probably not enough.

Verdict

Jax Edge continues to pay his way but life is about to get tougher off another new mark and others appeal more. Torfrida is interesting back at 6f but SURREY NOIR should be capable of winning races off his initial mark.[Alistair Jones]
