She has struggled since winning a five-runner handicap at Salisbury last summer, including when last of eight on her stable debut/reappearance at Chepstow last month; new headgear now given a go.

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win.

Form & Verdict
Free-going front-runner; gained all seven wins over 5f on Polytrack but belied 33-1 odds when placed in Class 4 C&D race last month; 2lb lower today and could be very hard to catch in this grade.

T: Conrad Allen

Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort.

Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case.

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative.

Form & Verdict
Largely consistent since joining Mark Gillard in the autumn and was evidently suited by switch to patient tactics when finishing well to score at Bath (5.7f, good) ten days ago; recent 3lb rise might be enough to leave him vulnerable, though.

2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred.

Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably.

Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well.
