Quirky veteran who's always reliant on some luck given her run style; landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D for Myla Coppins last month and may get this run to suit; player.

Form & Verdict
Winner off 2lb higher over 5.7f (firm) here around this time last year; that came after a recent outing and her reappearance fourth behind So Smart over C&D this month was promising; big player with that run behind her.

Form & Verdict
Only the two wins from 37 attempts but ended a barren spell when back to form over C&D this month with cheekpieces and tongue-tie refitted; remains well treated off a 3lb rise and likely player if in the same form with the tongue-tie retained.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up.

Form & Verdict
Six course wins to his name, the latest coming in May off 5lb lower for a 7lb claimer (5.7f); not beaten far behind So Smart over C&D 17 days ago and needs considering on the revised terms.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely.

Narrowly opened his account at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May; not in the same form at Nottingham off a 5lb rise this month but would have finished closer granted a clearer passage in a Class 5 back at Windsor two weeks ago; back down in class and respected off 1lb lower.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.

Ran a big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Ripon (good; refitted cheekpieces) on penultimate start but was disappointing when finishing last of ten at Windsor (just under 4l behind Inspired Knowhow) 14 days ago when tried in a visor (retained); needs to leave that run behind but he's respected on his Ripon second.
