T: Christine Dunnett

Triple C&D winner who was a clear second back at this track (1m2f, good to soft; second-time visor) two weeks ago; that was behind a handicap blot who has won again since and this return to fast ground is no problem; dangerous with cheekpieces now tried.

Three C&D wins all came in late summer, including two for Isobel Francis last year, and she offered more in a first-time visor (retained) recently; holds decent claims on that down 2lb.

Not easy to predict but a three-time winner who sits on a decent mark and was perhaps committed too soon before weakening into fourth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) the last time; dangerous to discount.

Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward.

Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player.

Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away.

Her last win was in April 2021 but she's finished runner-in four of her six starts for this yard including a near miss at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May; couldn't pose a threat when fourth at Yarmouth last time but that was against a pace bias and she has possibilities back up in trip; new headgear.
