4 yo Filly

OR: 69

Form & Verdict
She has slipped back down the weights and ran well under a positive ride at Catterick last week (6f, heavy; well backed, picked off close home); can win races off this mark but she would make more appeal either over an extra furlong or at a stiffer track.

50-1 winner over C&D off 11lb higher in February last year; back on a good mark but hasn't been in top form recently.

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing.

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Grant Tuer

Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark.

4 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Her three wins have come over C&D, the latest of them off 4lb lower in January; fair fourth here against male opposition last month and subsequent 6f defeat excusable; a big run looks on the cards.

All three wins over C&D; should come good again at some point this winter but quiet this autumn and may need a bit more weight off her back.

OUR TIP

Form: 1336-4 D

Last run: 8 days

W: 9st 6lb

4 yo Filly

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Two 5f wins to her name last summer, one on Polytrack and the other on good ground; looked rusty on last week's return to action at Kempton (6f) but she was keeping on late and she could prove a different proposition back over 5f.

Good record on turf for new yard, winning cosily at Pontefract 18 days ago (5f, good); a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender.

5 yo Filly

OR: 67

Form & Verdict
Had a fine time of things last year and she was back on the up when winning a 5f handicap at Newcastle on her return to action in January; good second over 6f there in February but her form dipped last time when she may have done too much early; penultimate effort offers hope she's still well treated and returning to 5f no issue.

J: Jack Nicholls

14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

Prolific winner who is on a dangerous mark but she's been out of sorts since completing a double at Hamilton (5f, good) last August; has plenty to prove and needs to turn things around back in trip.
