Form & Verdict
Six-time AW winner who is 0-11 on turf but she made a bold bid when a close second in a Bath handicap (11.6f, good to firm) last Wednesday; that was a return to form after a short break and she's a big player if she can back that up.

Sole win from 25 starts was in August 2021 and he's been well held in 1m2f handicaps (good/AW) in last two runs; his latest fifth of 14 at Lingfield was a respectable effort but he needs to find more at this new trip.

Six-race maiden with a mixed record so far but she kept on well to finish third in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in May and things didn't go her way in a tactical event at Yarmouth last time; still has potential and she looks interesting on this step up to 1m4f.
