6 yo Mare

OR: 100

Form & Verdict

1-11 over hurdles but she has form figures of 322122 since April and that latest second was a near miss in mares' novice at this track (2m4f, good); this return to 2m is no problem and she should make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict

Put in a dominant display at Market Rasen (2m maiden) last month but he was disappointing under a penalty there two weeks later; may have gone off too hard in that race but he has a patchy record and is now 1-9 over hurdles; risks attached.

Form & Verdict

Just one win from eight starts under both codes but that was a convincing success at Stratford (2m, good) on his penultimate run and he had an excuse over 2m4f on soft last time; could bounce back on this drop back in trip and he still has potential in this sphere.

Form & Verdict

Irish point winner who won a Worcester maiden (2m, good) in May and he was only beaten 3l when a rallying third of three at Stratford (2m, good to firm) the following month; that form puts him in the picture and he's still unexposed in this sphere.
