Four-time turf winner from 5.5f-7f; 0-19 on AW but he's been placed on Polytrack and Tapeta; has had a short break since going very close at Windsor (6f, good) in September and he's a player if he can reproduce that form.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent look to her 2024 form thus far, but won the last time her official mark dipped below 78 over two years ago, and three times off higher in between (one over 5f on firm here); all sprint trips come alike.

Yet to run a bad race over C&D, boasting a record of 12312 at the track; second in this race 12 months ago but 4lb higher this time round; met some trouble at a crucial stage at Newbury last time and that isn't the run to judge her on; should go well with all ground seeming to come alike to her.

Eight-time winner, the latest at Bath on her seasonal return in April (5f, good to firm); three solid efforts have followed and she's likely to give her running once again.

Absent since her second to Miss Show Off at Salisbury in early May; reappearance showed she can win when fresh but unplaced efforts in this race the last two years suggest a supporting role is more likely.

Form & Verdict
Mostly fair record when fresh and handles slow ground, so hard to use either to excuse last month's tenth of ten at Chester on seasonal return; not the appeal of some for all he's 4lb below his last winning mark.

Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade.

Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
C&D scorer off 2lb higher in May 2023 (firm); return to this trip looks timely, having got there too late following moderate starts and unclear passages on both 5f runs here this summer; unraced above 0-75 class.

Went close off 5lb higher at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in August but she's not matched that since and has finished seventh over C&D in last two runs; overall record now stands at 1-22 and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Consistent in handicaps, though possible to mark up just her second ever turf outing latest (6f, good to firm) when the blindfold came off way too late; eased 1lb for that Salisbury fifth, and although back up in grade this is no better a race than that class 5 (a 0-77 in essence).

Both wins came over 5f on the AW early last year; does stay this far, but 0-12 in handicaps and slow breaks continue to hold her back; has the ability to win a race off this mark when things fall right, but risky.
