Placed in her first two starts for this yard before bolting up in a Class 4 handicap at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); she's come up well short in two Listed events since, though, and is likely to do so again here.

4yo who posted a career best when easily winning Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to firm) in June, but she's since been soundly beaten in a Listed race at York (5f, good to soft); others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) and again when following up over C&D (good to firm), defying what was effectively a 3lb higher mark despite her penalty; has another 2lb to deal with here and would have something to prove on ground slower than good.

Ideally wants the ground good or faster but even then he's always been a more potent threat on the AW; doesn't come here in the best of form.

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims.

Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival.

5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Made a bold bid with cheekpieces added when runner-up over 5f at Windsor (soft) and reportedly found good to firm too lively when tailed off on his return there; could go well with rain about.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer.

Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on.

Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key.
