Not at best on last couple of AW starts but now only 1lb higher than for soft-ground C&D win in June and will warrant serious consideration if there's significant rain.

Made the most of a reduced mark when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and possible to make excuses for her two subsequent defeats; capable of playing a part in the returning blinkers if they go a good pace.

Scored off reduced mark at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month and also ran well when third at Newmarket (5f, good) ten days later; suited by his C&D and can make her presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
80-1 for her belated Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) last month but belied those odds when a staying-on fourth of 12 despite running green; not sure how strong that form is, though, and improvement will be required.

J: Christian Howarth

T: James Owen

Another seemingly exposed sort to be galvanised by a move to James Owen, winning fast-ground handicaps here (7f), Yarmouth (1m) and Newmarket (7f); beaten favourite at Chepstow last time when running off a 9lb lower mark than today's; drops back to 6f with her hood discarded.

J: Mason Paetel

T: James Owen

Has been flying since joining this yard (231211), her last two wins coming in this headgear combination with Mason Paetel aboard; races off a 5lb lower mark than when landing a Newmarket apprentice handicap (7f, good to firm) a week ago (9lb well in) and should take all the beating.

J: Mason Paetel

T: James Owen

Has been revitalised since joining this yard with form figures of 23121; latest win came in this headgear combination at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; drop back to 7f is no problem and she's a leading candidate under the penalty.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Ran well before fading late on when fourth of nine on his Lingfield debut (6f, Polytrack) in February; should stay the extra furlong and likely to have benefited from that initial experience.

1-20 with his win coming over C&D in February; 1lb lower than when beaten less than a length into second of 13 here in April and very much a player if reproducing that form.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of ability over 6f on the AW last autumn on both starts, beaten a neck at Chelmsford and going one better in convincing style here nine days later; has a 7lb penalty and off five months, but still a major player if ready to roll with the longer trip likely to be within range.

Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago.

Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Some promise when fourth of 11 on her debut here (8.6f) in January, but didn't back it up at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; the drop in trip may not suit on breeding and handicaps are an option after this.
