Made it 5-6 this season and over this trip when winning over C&D off a 3lb lower mark four weeks ago; that was a weak handicap but she won't mind the faster ground and looks the one to beat again.

Has won six of her last eight races, all over 1m, on ground varying from good to firm to heavy; on a career-higher mark and didn't run up to her best at Sandown last time, but no surprise if she were to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour.

Handicapped to the hilt since winning three fast-ground handicaps during early summer but she continues to run well and again gave it her all last week at Bath (1m, good); solid chance once more, though ground softer than good to soft would spell danger.

Form & Verdict
Her three handicap wins have all come from the front, including twice round here; back in form last Tuesday (9.7f; again didn't lead) but there's not much wiggle room off this mark and an easy 1m on quicker ground is a bare minimum now.

Form & Verdict
Nothing wrong with July's C&D second (soft) and was back to that level last time; can fluff the start and is usually dropped in, and is another who'll want a proper test over this trip on to faster ground in first-time headgear.

Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles.

Form & Verdict
Has won here (9.7f) but is best known for her Beverley work and hasn't been quite as good since returning from ten months off; is handicapped accordingly but she's usually ridden patiently and will want a good test down in trip on to faster ground.

Some creditable efforts this season, including when fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June, but she was disappointing over C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and five of her six wins have come at Beverley; cheekpieces added.

Has developed a habit of starting slowly, which is a concern, but her C&D defeat two weeks ago can be overlooked (repeatedly denied aclear run) and she's now 1lb lower than when second at Lingfield (7f) in October.

Breaks between her three runs, taking a backward step without the hood back from four months off recently; had to work to get to the front that day and may not have stayed 9.5f but she'll need to improve on her turf/handicap debut.
