Five-time AW winner who broke her turf duck over C&D last September (good to soft); has not fired in two turf runs back from a break but it's possible the return to this track will give her a lift.

Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Made good progress for Simon Pearce last season, winning four times, and he has run well in defeat in three runs for his new stable; had to wait for a gap at Nottingham last time and by the time he was in the clear the winner was out of sight; still more to come from him.

Missed 2025 but ran well when second of seven over this C&D in March on his first start for 702 days; struggled on his next two starts but returned to form when going close at Ffos Las (5f) nine days ago; this dual C&D will be suited by the return to this trip and has strong claims.

Three front-running wins on Lingfield AW in the first part of 2022 when trained by Conrad Allen; well short of his best in recent starts and sold for 7,000gns last month; down in the weights ahead of this stable debut but would have something to prove on slower than good.

Seemingly displayed improvement when second of six on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last month (6f, AW) but the form has taken some knocks; still has potential and that doesn't apply to many of his rivals.

Regressive gelding who hasn't won since his 2yo days and doesn't strike as the easiest; has been running well of late and will be happier back up from 6f, so holds each-way claims in an open handicap.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.

Three wins for other yards but yet to get going for this stable in 2023; not beaten far at Lingfield when last seen eight weeks ago but he could still manage only fifth of the six runners; down in grade but risky.
