Form & Verdict
Form tailed off for previous yard and has taken time to find her feet for this one after wind surgery; didn't do anything in a hurry at Yarmouth recently (extended 1m3f, good to firm) but made relentless late headway to be a close third to in-form rivals; of interest up in trip.

Off the mark at the tenth attempt when scoring at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June but she was held in a 4l third over same C&D last time; that was a respectable effort but she needs more back at this trip and is untried on slow ground.

Has worked her way back into form for new stable this season and just held on to prevail by a neck when upped to this trip here (good to firm) nine days ago; still unexposed over 1m6f and 2lb nudge ought to be manageable; high on the list.

Stamina hasn't been up to the job over 2m+ since handicapping on the AW but the first two attempts were in a higher grade and this first run over 1m6f offers hope back on turf.

Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m6f) last November but he been beaten upwards of 23l in all four starts since; now 1lb below his winning mark but he needs a refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie combination to spark a major turnaround back on turf.

Two Flat wins (1m6f/2m) and two victories over hurdles (2m/2m4f) for Chris Dwyer; well treated on his old Flat form but he's been out of sorts in his last four runs including on his stable debut at Nottingham in June; headgear now returns but he has questions to answer after another break.

Form & Verdict
Never reached the frame in France although she was close up over 1m3f in April; looked beaten for most of the straight here on last month's debut for new yard (1m2f, good to firm) but she kept on stoutly to lead on the line; stamina unproven for this far but has potential for better.

Never showed on AW 18 days ago but she'd been delivered with a well-timed run to win an amateur jockeys' race at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) the time before; not the easiest of rides but is capable of going well.

Proved unsteerable in the race won by Scylla on turf here last month, but with the cheekpieces removed she proved much more amenable when winning under Jack Callan at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and shortlisted if in the same mood.

Seven AW wins at up to 1m5f; has also won on turf, in 2020, but soundly beaten in just three attempts on grass since and needs to prove he can carry over his AW form to this surface.
