Form & Verdict
Encouraging third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in December on second handicap start and bounced back from lesser run at Catterick with fair sixth of 15 at Ayr (3m, good) last month; however, she needs something extra if she's to get off the mark this afternoon.

Stays well and ended last season with wins at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) and Perth (3m, soft) in April; these conditions suit but she lacks a recent run and starts the season on a career-high mark.

Form & Verdict
0-23 and needs to prove she can get the job done, but she's run just four times for this yard and has posted creditable efforts on her last three outings (3m/3m1f, soft/heavy); a first win may well be imminent.

3m point winner who scored by 6l on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) on February 13; merely a 12l third there (3m, heavy) 13 days later but perhaps that run came too soon and this lightly raced 6yo retains potential for her good yard; no surprise to see a big performance.

Form & Verdict
Swerved left and unseated at first flight at Ascot last time; won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January and she's of interest on that form, but she finished tired and about 10l behind runner-up Fainche when fourth of six at Carlisle (3m1f, heavy) next time.

Placed on consecutive outings after her narrow win at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in November but looked out of sorts on her last two outings and needs to have been refreshed by a 12-week break.

Form & Verdict
Tail-flashing 5yo who is 0-7 and goes without the hood she's worn the last twice; however, she ran pretty encouraging races at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last month in her first two handicaps and shaped as though this step up in trip may be a good move; she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Has shown little on her three hurdle starts (2m-2m4f) and is 9lb wrong at the weights for this handicap debut; however, she still lines up on a lowly mark and she was placed in two 3m points in the first half of last year; not a forlorn hope now up in trip.
