Form & Verdict
Close fourth at Chepstow (6f, good) in July, after a break, and didn't enjoy run of the race when respectable fifth of 15 over same C&D last month; competes off career-low mark here and the move back up in trip will suit; can handle some rain; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with two C&D wins (both on good to firm; also has form on soft) in June/July, the latter off today's mark, but has not been at the same level lately and her tendency to race too freely is always a worry.

Fifth in this last year (Blue Collar Lad second); her six wins have been split evenly between here and Yarmouth (7f-1m) and she seems to handle most underfoot conditions; her staying-on fourth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago offers some hope.

Form & Verdict
Made no further progress after last autumn's AW win for Richard Spencer, but bettered inauspicious stable debut when keeping-on third at Chepstow (7f, good) a fortnight ago and drops in grade here; ground slower than good would reduce her appeal, but otherwise she's a possible.

Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) for Richard Spencer a year ago and looked to be on the way back on her second start for this yard when third of eight at Chepstow (7f, good) last month, but her two efforts since have been moderate; others appeal more.

Third twice over 7f in August (once over C&D) and also when upped to 1m here a fortnight ago; career strike-rate now stands at 0-30, but she can cope if the ground eases and ought to give another good account.

Tapped into new-found reserves of stamina of late, going close twice over 7f before another good run upped to 1m at Brighton three weeks ago; fully effective on slow ground but remains to be seen if she needs a stiff test over 1m on this ground.
