Form & Verdict
Sent off 6-5 favourite when second of five on her Pontefract debut (5f, soft) early last month, but out of her depth in the Listed Marygate Stakes at York (5f, good) next time; back in much calmer waters here and high on the list.

Won off 4lb higher here (5f) last November; she's failed to get competitive subsequently but has a nice mark to work with if the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) prompts a revival; watch the betting.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Sent off 9-4 when overcoming a slow start to make a winning debut in a five-runner maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) last month (first two clear); has a 6lb penalty to carry, but his effort can probably be marked up as he had to circle the entire field; major player in his bid to follow up.

Hasn't gone on from her successful Southwell debut (5f, AW) and was beaten a long way at Kempton (6f, AW) ten days ago; return to 5f should suit on turf debut, but others still preferred; stable also runs the newcomer Elladora Black.

Not beaten far at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July, but not so good at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; isn't progressing, but is a half-sister to two AW winners including one here, so she may find a bit more for the different surface.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.
