Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

Form & Verdict
Poor in three runs this year, latterly when tailed off on his first start since being gelded; perhaps the first-time hood will help him settle, down another 5lb and dropped from 6f, but a leap of faith is required.

Form & Verdict
Has often been buzzy and the return of the hood and drop from 6f both look in her favour following an ordinary effort recently back from a break; has the ability to win off this mark if things pan out early from stall 7.
