Form & Verdict
Made a promising start when a close fifth at Newbury (6f, good) last July and she built on that when going very close at Chelmsford (5-2 favourite) on her return this month; should make another bold bid on this switch to Tapeta and she's respected.

9st 9lb

J: Jason Hart

Finished second in a 6f fillies' handicap at Wolverhampton last February when rated 4lb higher; not shone in two runs after an absence but down in the weights and the addition of a visor could give her a lift.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up at Beverley (7.4f) and here (7f) in her first two starts and she ran well again when a front-running third behind a smart prospect at Lingfield 18 days ago; could find more progress on this switch to sprinting and she's an interesting contender.

Three maiden/novice runs for David Loughnane, the pick when modest keeping-on third in 6f Wolverhampton fillies' event last February; however, absent since and faces a different test; feasibly weighted but not bred to stay.

Sister to a 7f Group 3 winner but she made a low-key start at a biggish price at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month and needs to leave that form well behind.

Rattled off a fast-ground 6f hat-trick this summer but the wheels came off in her bid for a four-timer at Nottingham in August, finding little when asked for her effort; could resume her progress after nine weeks off but she'll need to.

Miss Stormy Night

9st 7lb

Very progressive filly who has won her last three races (all 6f, good to firm; one over C&D); raised another 6lb since last time but likely to pose a potent threat from off the pace again.

9/4

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on Tapeta and Polytrack in the last two of her three runs for Clive Cox including a near miss under a positive ride at Kempton (7f) last month; just about sets the standard on that form and she's a big player dropped to 6f for new yard (changed hands for 34,000gns).

Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend.

3 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
80,000euros yearling; first foal; dam well beaten 5f AW only start, closely related to winners Cape Factor (6f 2yo Listed) and Hidden Belief (7f), half-sister to winners My Eyes Adore You (6f Listed), Court House (smart 1m-1m4f AW) and Benzanno (useful 1m/8.5f); plenty to like on paper and she needs a close look on debut.

Promise on turf last summer and has made good progress on AW since November, winning five times here (three over today's distance); came up short over C&D last month and the handicapper may now have her measure.

Showed some ability with her 50-1 debut fourth over C&D in November but that form is well below the standard here and she struggled at Southwell last month; cheekpieces are now added.
