Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding.

Form & Verdict
Won his first two starts in Southwell novices (6f and 5f) and he ran well for third in a good 6f handicap here in April; encouraging fourth at Redcar 19 days ago on his return from six months off, making his challenge away from the other principals; still has potential and he's of interest.

Form & Verdict
Useful as 2yo but has had a stop-start campaign this year, often hinting at a revival but failing to back it up; continues to drop in the weights but a visor is now turned to (unplaced twice in cheekpieces in June) and others look safer.

Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner in March for Charles Hills; 0-7 for current stable but he retains ability and wasn't beaten far at Redcar 19 days ago (one place behind Rose King) despite getting squeezed out in the closing stages; can get it wrong at the start, so stall 1 is maybe not the positive it should be.

Ready winner of a 5f handicap at Newcastle in October off a 3lb lower mark (no headgear); less good in headgear in three runs since but his latest effort at Newcastle can be marked up as he travelled nicely but perhaps on the unfavoured part of the track; each-way shout.
