Form & Verdict
She hasn't won since September 2022 but has been hitting the bar several times since; well supported, she did little wrong when second at Redcar (1m2f, soft) last month; first-time blinkers now replace cheekpieces and she should be thereabouts.

Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Form & Verdict
Yet to win but has shown enough to suggest a success isn't far off; spoiled his chance by being slowly away at Ayr (7f, good) two weeks ago when first-time cheekpieces were applied; interesting if he can break on level terms.
