Out of the money in Listed grade last time; very consistent at a suitable level and gained a due win at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) three starts ago; solid back down in class.

Steadily progressive filly for whom conditions are unlikely to pose a problem; latest defeat at Newbury came in a Class 4 handicap so she's got her work cut out in this line-up.

Runner-up over C&D (good) last month and won five-runner handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good to soft) next time; this looks a better race than last time but she's up just 2lb and has a progressive profile.

Form & Verdict
Won at Hamilton (1m, good to soft) in May and made virtually all to score over this C&D (good) last month; soft ground may not have suited at Doncaster last time and he might not be far away if back on a better surface.

Form & Verdict
All four starts on good/faster; short-headed in Doncaster novice (1m2f, good) in June and same outcome on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last time, when clear with a progressive winner (the third has won since); open to further improvement and he's a key player in first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row at Hamilton (1m1f, good/good to firm) in May and he was denied a clear run when second to Leap Year Lad over this C&D (good) last month; also effective on slow ground; things again didn't go his way at Beverley last time and he might not be far away.

J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
About 4l behind Khinjani when third of 12 on last month's handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good), when hanging left; has work to do with the topweight but may be the type to benefit from the first-time cheekpieces.
