Form & Verdict
Completed quick hat-trick when switched to handicaps in April (1m-1m2f) but subsequent efforts suggest her improvement has levelled off; will at least find this easier than the Royal Ascot handicap she contested last time, though.

Narrowly made all over C&D in May off 3lb lower; inconsistent since, wearing cheekpieces on last four outings, but she appeared to run very well from off the pace when 66-1 in a Listed race on latest outing; back up 3lb but considered for a place.

5yo who has a 7-22 strike-rate and showed career-best form when winning a six-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May; ran okay at Ascot last time and might appreciate this drop back in trip but she's now starting to look exposed and could be vulnerable in this competitive race.

Form & Verdict
Launched handicap career with three good efforts over 1m2f, most recently when second of five behind a big improver at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; could still have a bigger run in her and is likely to make her presence felt again.

Led close home to win 8.6f AW novice in October but, despite some very respectable efforts, her tendency to race too freely has held her back in handicaps this season; others look safer.

Delivered on debut promise when winning 8.6f AW novice in the autumn; yet to make any significant progress this year and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but she kept on well for third at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month and will probably be on the premises again here; tongue-tie removed.

0-22 on the Flat and 0-7 over hurdles; sold out of Matt Crawley's stable for 3,400gns after well-held fourth at Fakenham (2m, soft) in February but ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here, and could plausibly have been perked up by her new regime.

A maiden after eight starts but ran big race from the front when dropped back to 1m2f and fitted with cheekpieces at Newbury (good to firm) this month, losing out only by a neck; 3lb higher here but will take some catching if in similar form again.
