Form & Verdict
Her form has gone the wrong way but she blasted off in front in first-time blinkers (retained) before fading at Thirsk last Friday, and the drop in grade and return to Musselburgh (two wins here) could both be positives.

J: Connor Beasley

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Back on better ground he returned to form with a narrow win at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last Friday; that form has already been franked by the placed horses and he's firmly in calculations under a 5lb penalty.

Lightly raced 4yo who is from a family that has done very well for his yard; however, she's shown little thus far, most recently on her handicap and seasonal debut over C&D 12 days ago.

J: Lauren Young

Completed a hat-trick last August/September and she's capable of going close off her current mark if at her best; she's 3-3 here and perhaps the return to Thirsk will trigger a revival, but it very much needs to as she's not shone on her three outings this season.

Trainer won this last year with subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair; progressive last season and she's 1lb lower than when a close third of 18 over C&D (good) last October; however, well beaten on both starts this season (irregular heartbeat last time) and a major turnaround is needed.
