Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism when winning this from a 2lb lower mark last year; competitive at Brighton and Bath later that summer; difficult to know how she'll fare off a 323-day absence, but a Catterick second (in July 2020) proved that she is capable on good to soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 31 starts came over C&D (soft) in May 2022; finished 9l fourth to Hidden Pearl in this race last year, and it's difficult to be overly enthused by his efforts so far this year; was sporting a first-time visor (retained) at Lingfield five days ago.

Well handicapped on his best form and he returned from a lengthy absence with a fair fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m6f) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting.

Sole win came over 1m (three-runner novice) in January 2022; done broadly okay on her last two starts (1m2f-11.5f) but her tendency to race freely is worrying in the context of this longer trip.

Ex-Tony Carroll; has raised his game since joining Alan King, fending off his main market rival over C&D three weeks ago; 3lb higher in newly applied cheekpieces, albeit with Brandon Wilkie's 5lb claim a valuable asset; sets the benchmark for the others to aim towards.

Allowed a soft lead when winning on Polytrack at Lingfield (2m; 11-8 favourite) last November; below par since, beating only a single rival in three starts (1m2f-1m6f) this year; the combination of a hood, tongue-tie and cheekpieces is concerning.
