J: Jamie Spencer

Losing run up to 16; has run some fine races in that period but her hold-up style dictates that things need to drop right and she got going too late when third in 1m Pontefract Listed race 18 days ago; prior to that she finished around 2l behind the reopposing Kon Tiki when eighth of 15 to Blue Bolt in the Duke Of Cambridge over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm).

Losing run up to 15 but she has run some fine races in that period, not least when beaten less than a length into third of six in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last August (entered again this year); respected on these terms and Jamie Spencer knows her well; still holds a Sussex Stakes entry.

Form & Verdict
Dual 6f winner (good/AW), who finished well when a 2l third of 11 in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; looks ready for this new trip and he's an interesting contender off same mark as last time.

Two 6f wins, the second on Polytrack off a 4lb lower mark; some of his placed form since reads well and a lesser effort last time can be excused as the undulations of Epsom looked an issue; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims.

Consistent 3yo who kept on well for 3l second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained); on that latest evidence today's first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's a possible.

Form & Verdict
Ended last year with two AW wins and was a fair third here (7f, good) last month on his second run this season; could go well again but he looks on a tough enough mark now and is one of the most exposed runners the line-up.

Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record in ten starts but she recorded her third win when bouncing back on the step up to 1m at Newmarket (good to firm; cheekpieces added) 13 days ago; up 3lb but that was a brave success from the front and she's respected back in trip.

No match for Asteverdi at Sandown in June but C&D winner (good to soft) in August and a solid third behind one who has since outgrown handicaps over 1m at Ascot in September; fairly exposed now but this lesser test might suit better; not far away.

Form & Verdict
Brother to 6f Group 1 winner Pretty Pollyanna (RPR 115); has gone close in two of his three runs this spring, including when second in 15-runner novice at Newmarket (1m, good) two weeks ago; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and he still has plenty of potential; big player.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden who flopped on handicap debut at Newmarket last November but he bounced back with a creditable second at Kempton (1m, AW; blinkers added) 16 days later; should be fine back at this trip but this is competitive on his return and he needs to find something extra; headgear removed.

Acts on heavy; finally off the mark in 1m novice event at Windsor in June; folded tamely in 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood next time and again weakened out of it at Kempton (1m3f, AW) five weeks ago; that's led to wind surgery and today's visor, and he'd be a contender if back to his best.

Met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and has otherwise been in the frame every time; second off this mark at Haydock (1m, good) before getting off the mark by a neck in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; this marked increase in trip is interesting, including as his dam was a 1m3f winner and close relation to a King George winner at 1m4f.
