Form & Verdict
Prolific in 2023 and she's now 3lb lower than for her win at York last June (6f, good to firm; completed a four-timer); looked ready to exploit the drop in the weights when third at Kempton last month but her subsequent Wolverhampton run was a shade underwhelming; Ripon's undulations will be a new experience but she's got the pace to exploit the rail draw and she's too well treated to ignore.

She had been threatening prior to her win in a 5f handicap here last month (soft); highly tried twice since and this should be more suitable; one to take seriously.

Scored over 7f two years ago but has done most of her winning (and racing) at sprint trips; not screaming for the return to this distance, especially on a stiff track like Newcastle.

Form & Verdict
Both her wins came in May of 2022, including over C&D; creditable second at Catterick on her return to action last month (6f, soft); wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

It's now 16 outings since her last victory but she comes here in good order, fifth of 11 at Ripon (6f) last month; she's one for the shortlist.

T: Ben Haslam

Beaten on her last 15 starts going back to May 2022 but has often run really well in the interim, including when going close in this last year (good) and when runner-up here (5f, good) three weeks ago in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces (both retained); also effective on slow ground; player.

6 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Failed to win last season but she was second to a handicap blot in this race 12 months ago on her seasonal return and she also finished second at Pontefract and Wolverhampton; should give her running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Four runs for Ralph Beckett as a 2yo, improving when landing a 6f nursery (soft) at Thirsk last July; 8lb higher mark to contend with on her stable debut (sold 18,000gns in October) and although 3yos have won two of the last three runnings of this race, she will need a personal best.

On a handy mark and she ran a sound race at Ascot (6f, good) nine days ago given she raced freely; should go well back against her own sex and at a less-demanding 6f.
