Form & Verdict
Clearcut winner of her maiden on the AW (Tapeta) and wasn't far away on her handicap debut at Kempton (Polytrack); her freegoing tendencies held her back at Chelmsford last time and may do so again unless settling better in the first-time hood; while that's feasible, she was below par on sole turf start.

Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Gemma Tutty

Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run.

In better form than her form figures imply as she's been finding her share of trouble; running style lends itself to that but capable of having a say should the breaks come at crucial times; goes well at this track.

3 yo Filly

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
A progressive filly who has won her last three, all 6f handicaps against her own sex; seemingly doing just enough in her races has seen her go up only 6lb in the process and another good run looks on the cards.

Completed a 6f hat-trick on turf in the summer; unlikely she's handicapped out of things and 7f might have stretched her stamina here last time; one of the likelier ones returned to this distance.

Completed a 6f hat-trick on fast turf this summer (all in fillies' handicaps); ran well against males in her bid for a four-timer at Leicester in August but her form dipped on slower ground five weeks ago (Class 3); unlikely she's handicapped out of things but her stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.

J: Callum Shepherd

Enjoying a fine season and completed a hat-trick when scoring at Lingfield in July; edged out only late on when runner-up at Leicester (6f, again on good to firm) since, so she's a player nudged up just 1lb.

Form & Verdict
Just three runs for this yard (all at 7f), winning her maiden at Wolverhampton and then highly tried at Listed level; ran better back in a handicap at Catterick and dropping back 6f could work for her; wore cheekpieces the last twice.

Returned with 7f Wolverhampton maiden victory and she has held her form well since, solid third of six in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; possibilities off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Nabbed on the line here over 7f (good to firm) and ran to a similar level back over 6f at Newmarket (good); that all amounts to a solid start in handicaps and it's hard to envisage her not having some say once more.

Yet to win a handicap but she had a near miss over C&D on last month's seasonal return; drawn wider than the other principals when fourth of 11 at Windsor 25 days ago; should go well.
