Form & Verdict
A win and two places from her three races at this track, including when third to Jenever three starts back; while no win for 13 months and none too consistent overall, she went down by just a neck at Bath on latest outing and has to be considered seriously back here.

Impressed from the front at Bath (5f, good to firm) last month for an eighth career success; wasn't beaten too far under a penalty (this mark) at Southwell and she's better on turf.

Returned from a seven-month absence to record an impressive front-running success at Bath last week (just 1lb shy of her peak RPR); doesn't have to lead and her record for Oisin Murphy reads 2319241; big run can be expected under a 5lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Started handicaps off a basement mark but he has made giant strides, taking his form to a new level with ready C&D win last month on sole visit here; ran respectably off this 5lb higher mark at Nottingham latest; big player.

Overcame a wide draw when winning the corresponding race in determined fashion 12 months ago; returns off a 2lb higher mark but he's in fair form and he was stretched by 6f at Doncaster last month; this stiff 5f looks ideal and the return of cheekpieces could give him a lift; respected.

Form & Verdict
Won in France last summer on her first two starts; 0-9 since but back in good form with returning cheekpieces over 6f on last two outings (Thirsk and Chantilly) and that gives her place claims; her only other time tongue tied was in February (finished last) before wind surgery.
