Form & Verdict
Unraced on Polytrack but best form has been on Tapeta, narrowly winning over this far at Southwell in March (3lb lower); ran moderately back from a break on her turf debut but this looks more her scene and the tongue-tie is new.

One of her three wins came over C&D; off the mark for this stable when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); drawn wide but a 3lb rise looks manageable.

Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here.

All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade.

Close up on turf last time when tried in a visor and now returns to the scene of his best efforts, winning over C&D in May (first-time cheekpieces) and second in new blinkers here two runs back; highly likely that he'll be involved.

Second of 12 in an uncompetitive maiden at Southwell (5f, hooded first time) eight days ago but there were positives to be gleaned from that run, notably that she was running on in the final furlong (weak finisher in all starts beforehand); 6lb lower than for her latest handicap effort; might find a small race this winter but perhaps not this one.
