Form & Verdict
Took a steep rise in the weights for her barnstorming C&D win (good to soft) in June and she was unable to play a significant part at the big meeting here in August; no surprise if she revives now the ground has turned.

All four wins at 5f on good ground or softer, bolting up in handicap at Goodwood in May; well below par in two subsequent runs but she's had over two months off since and could be revived; not without hope if so.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much.

Form & Verdict
Can be slowly away and was never involved at Windsor latest but had previously taken advantage of a useful mark when making all at Thirsk (5f, good); had C&D form earlier in career (good to soft); not out of this if away on terms.

Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time.

Form & Verdict
Not weighted out of it and has won on the other two downhill tracks (both on good to firm) but below best in all three C&D runs, including at the big meeting in July, and he was working hard from some way out at Windsor since (cheekpieces discarded, as today); more needed.

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum.

Just one win (1m) from 13 attempts and unplaced all five starts this year; however, her mark is falling and she wasn't disgraced when a never-nearer fourth over 5f at Goodwood (soft) 11 days ago; today's trip might be ideal; could have a say.

Down a long way in the weights since finishing second in the 5f handicap here last August and has possibilities on the pick of this year's efforts but he's never won a turf handicap and wasn't at his best in the refitted visor at Chepstow recently; best form on good or quicker ground.

Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win.

Form & Verdict
Ran flat on latest Yarmouth start (won there in June) but she'd only just lost out on the AW previously and has invariably run well over C&D in the past, winning once and placed the other four times; out of the weights but still a factor; acts well on good to soft and soft.
