Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; four wins this season - two over 7f and two over this trip - and she ran a cracker in a strong fillies' handicap at Goodwood 18 days ago, second of 13 despite her saddle slipping; 2lb higher but it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet.

Well suited by slow ground and he ran right up to his best when second of 11 at Goodwood 17 days ago (7f, heavy); 2lb rise is fair enough and the fitting of a visor could give him a lift on this rare 6f outing; the more rain to fall the better.

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely.

Form & Verdict
Coolmore cast-off who gained his first win for this yard when seeing off three rivals in a Windsor handicap in May (5f, good to firm); creditable effort in the Gosforth Park Cup seven weeks ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he's likely vulnerable to something lower down the weights.

Disappointing at Doncaster 12 days ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run, which is what happened when he won at Windsor (5f) last month; close second over 6f here in February and not discounted.

Form & Verdict
This is a track that lends itself to specialists so a C&D record of 111351 piques the interest; won't mind what the weather does but this race is much more demanding than the four-runner contest he won 12 days ago.

Half of his wins have come over C&D and he finished sixth (Fortamour third) in this race in 2024; runner-up in added blinkers at Hamilton (6f, soft; 11-2) last September, but has failed to sparkle since (0-3); easing mark and a return to Ripon are the positives.

Multiple 6f winner, mainly on softer than good, most recently off current mark at Carlisle last May; inconsistent since and has something to prove back up in trip.

Back on much the same mark as his latest win, an amateur jockeys' race at Carlisle (good to soft) last May; has won on reappearance but he tends to need the run these days.
