Form & Verdict
Four siblings won for the yard; has come on a ton since handicapping on turf, looking better the further she went at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) and proving well suited by the stiffer test when making all at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft); effectively 8lb higher here but good chance of hat-trick.

Completed a hat-trick (1m2f-11.5f) in June, looking progressive; however, shot up the weights for those wins and has found things harder the last twice; this new trip needs to eke out extra from her.

9st 4lb

J: Joe Fanning

T: Charlie Johnston

Completed a quickfire hat-trick last month, which means she's 3-3 since handicapping and switched to turf; won well each time, most recently at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; Class 5); now upped two grades off a much sterner mark but could well progress further; has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Won his third handicap as 2yo (1m, good to soft) at Brighton; seemed to answer the stamina query when a keeping-on third in a fair C&D race on return last month (good to firm, refitted blinkers); gelded since; solid enough but probably up against it if Alpina Express is still on song.

Form & Verdict
Won 7f maiden last summer; mixed record in handicaps but ran better when runner-up over C&D (soft) two starts ago and was taking on some unexposed rivals when sixth at Salisbury next time (third and fourth have won since); now goes in cheekpieces with improvement needed.

Won at Windsor (11.4f, good; under Georgia Dobie) in July; mixed record but her only start since was creditable when a close third of five over 1m5f; unraced over this far and it needs to spark some improvement.

Form & Verdict
Dropped to selling company for sole win (1m, AW); not obviously well treated on the strength of a front-running fifth in 1m4f Newbury handicap (first attempt at the trip on turf) and has work to do again.

J: Charles Bishop

Gained only win from 13 starts in a Tapeta seller but ran quite well when third (albeit no threat to clear winner) at Bath (11.6f, good) 11 days ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least.

Got the better of Lexington Hero over 1m4f on the AW in March but has found turf handicaps harder work over C&D, 1m2f and 1m4f on last three starts; not coming down the weights quickly enough to make much appeal.

Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces.

All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra.
