Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but well held in both runs for this yard; ran into some trouble at Wolverhampton last time but still 3lb higher than for her last win and others are preferred; blinkers removed. |

Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but she made a low-key start for this yard at Kempton ten days ago; that was after a short break but her three AW wins have all been in Class 6 events and she could be vulnerable again at this new trip. |

Unexposed 3yo who delivered on earlier promise when making all for fairly comfortable success in Newmarket novice (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago; should have more improvement to come in handicaps; likely contender. |

9st 4lb |
She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that. |

Won off 1lb higher at York (7f, good to soft) last July but she's 0-9 since and has form figures of 006707 this season; handles most ground but she needs a major revival back in a Class 4 event. |

Strong traveller who has winning form over C&D; hit the front briefly inside the final 1f when close sixth of 19 to Villanova Queen in this race (round 1m) last year; operating a little below her best this season but her mark has edged back down as a result. |

25th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Record on AW reads 2221, the win gained at Southwell (1m) on handicap debut; has not transferred that form to turf in two attempts, both at Ascot on slow ground; something to prove on return from a break. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Came good with clearcut success on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; behind three of today's rivals when seventh of 11 over C&D (soft) on turf debut the following month but remains unexposed and might be seen to better effect if the ground is less testing today. |
8/1 |

All four starts on AW, finishing runner-up three times in maiden/novice company before getting off the mark on 1m Southwell handicap debut 39 days ago; could easily have more to offer but hard to know whether she'll cope with the forecast slow ground now switching to the turf. |

Low-mileage 4yo who recovered from slow start to take creditable fourth behind Farhh To Shy and Belhaven over C&D (soft; also suited by good) on seasonal/handicap debut in May; ran as though something was amiss a fortnight ago but has possibilities if first-time tongue-tie aids a return to form. |

Ended last season with comfortable AW maiden win in November and has made the frame in all three handicaps this year, most recently when third of seven at Sandown (1m1f, good to soft) two months ago; needs to improve to win this competitive race, though. |

Placed in two handicaps (1m/1m2f) since winning her maiden at Wolverhampton and, with no excuses from the front last time, she is looking handicapped about right; return to turf also poses some nagging doubts, but on the plus side she would appear in better form than most of these. |
