Form & Verdict
Bath win in May came over 5.5f but she stayed 7f well when a close second at Leicester last week; runs off the same mark here and could rate higher at the trip; can miss the break but still more appealing than some.

Three wins (5.6f/7f) for the Kublers and latest was at this track last August; well handicapped on that form but she's struggled in three runs for current yard and needs a big turnaround.

Three wins for the Kubler yard included one over C&D; has finished last in both her runs for Tony Carroll following an absence and cheekpieces did nothing for her when tried once before.

Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina.

Form & Verdict
Slow start for this yard but she showed her true colours dropped back to 7f and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time when readily seeing off 11 rivals here two weeks ago; up 7lb but unexposed in the headgear.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; got pestered for the lead when down the field at Wolverhampton next time, but she's hard to predict and this looks tough from a wide draw.

Form & Verdict
Couldn't justify her market prominence at Kempton on her handicap debut 16 days ago (1m) but she was caught wide and still looked in need of the experience; still has time to do better.

Improved for the step up in trip last summer, winning four handicaps (1m2f to extended 1m3f); she's run creditably in both starts this year but latest Goodwood fifth suggests she's up against it once more.

Made his breakthrough (11th attempt) in a Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a creditable fourth at Salisbury but he has taken a strong hold at times and his form nosedived at Yarmouth last week; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back on this return to Polytrack.

Down the field in two 1m runs for Joseph O'Brien as a 2yo and again on her stable debut at Newmarket last month; makes her handicap debut with a tongue-tie fitted; the betting should guide as to expectation levels.
