Form & Verdict
Record of 2-34 but his last win was in a classified event at Brighton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago and he backed that up with a front-running second on soft ground there (5.3f) last week; has leading claims on these terms and he's a major player again.

Two wins and six runner-up efforts since the end of March; his second here (5.3f) last month was an 8l defeat and although that was behind a very well-handicapped rival, he was well held here yesterday.

Successful twice, including over 6f here, this summer; runner-up six times otherwise in 2024, most recently over C&D (good) behind an easy winner; proving consistent and again holds a solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Six-time sprint winner who acts on fast and heavy ground; has mixed record this season but she returned to form with a close third over C&D (good to soft) last week and looks interesting if she can repeat that form.

Most wins have come in the second half of the year, mainly on turf, and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught first time out; others have more pressing claims.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Richard Price

Capable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted.

It was an uncompetitive four-runner classified event in which she finished second at Ffos Las nine days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but this will demand more of her.

Form & Verdict
Won twice at Chepstow (5f/6f) last summer but has not been in the same form this year and his losing run is now up to 12; almost always loses ground at the start and he's not the percentage call.

Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective.

Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising.

Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Form & Verdict
24-race maiden who returned after wind surgery with a well-held sixth in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, AW) last Monday; would be meeting most of these on better terms in a handicap and she makes no appeal.

30-race maiden; placed over 5f here in July, but precious little to enthuse about since, including when reluctant to load in this headgear combination at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last Thursday; better to look elsewhere.
