Won at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and was runner-up in next two starts (Polytrack/good) but her form has slumped in last two runs; has bit to prove again and she needs to bounce back on this return to 5f.

Two sprint wins this year, including C&D, and she's now 1lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from two lesser runs though.

Prominent racer with a hit-and-miss record; not sure she's got much in hand of her mark and there are other pace influences on show.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 15 starts but he's on a reduced mark and was a creditable second with blinkers reapplied back at 5f at Haydock (good to firm) last Thursday; seems versatile ground-wise and has claims if he can repeat that latest form.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again.

Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days.

Form & Verdict
Two 5f wins this year and latest was on turf at Nottingham (good) in May; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she's not hit the same level since and was no match for Fidelius at Wolverhampton ten days ago; down the list.

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
Ten-race maiden who has been well held on fast and soft ground in his last three runs (6f/7f); mark continues to fall but he missed the break last time and has work to do back at 5f in this competitive race; hood removed after one use.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when making all in a Bath handicap (5.7f, firm) two weeks ago; a 4lb rise for that success looks fair and she's open to more improvement at sprint trips; respected.
