Form & Verdict
Won over C&D in February for Robert Cowell and went in again on her debut for this yard at Dundalk in April; not so good since, though soft turf might not have been ideal last time; front runs and she's drawn wide.

Four AW wins over this trip this year, including two around here; had Sporting Hero back in third for latest success when making every post a winning one; 3lb better off at the weights with that rival now despite the 6lb hike so could still be well treated; first-time blinkers.

Ripon novice winner; hassled throughout up front when fourth of seven on handicap debut at Bath (5f) and it could be a similar tale here if they wish to be handy with her.

Two creditable handicap runs have followed her Ripon novice win last month; she'll need to raise her game to defy this mark but, after just six starts, that's quite possible.

Didn't need to improve on her spring seconds to win a weak Ripon novice 12 days ago; she settled better that day, though, and remains relatively unexposed as she goes handicapping at a sensible level.

A consistent run of form has come abruptly to a halt with sixths at Pontefract and Yarmouth; has no margin for error off this mark anyway.

Habitual slow starter who has one win from 33 starts; beaten a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month but he's failed to beat a rival home in two outings since; others preferred.

J: Charlie Bennett

T: Conrad Allen

Huge chance on this year's best form, notably a C&D second off 7lb higher in February; refused to race at Yarmouth on her penultimate start though and that, allied to a modest effort at Chelmsford two weeks ago, leaves her with too much to prove for comfort.

Form & Verdict
Slow ground wasn't her thing in a Racing League handicap last time but she had been 2-2 in the hood before that after two 6f wins; has won over 5f and this race could suit her come-from-behind style.

Five-time turf winner; only 2lb higher than for her Redcar win last summer (6f, good to firm) and her two AW runs this year aren't the ones to judge her on (blindfold slow to be removed last time); leading contender.

Consistent rather than progressive but she has a lot of early speed and this first try at 5f could work in her favour, especially from a good draw.

Form & Verdict
Disappointing given her purchase price of 340,000gns (yearling) and was weak in the market when a fading fifth on handicap debut at Kempton (6f); like a few in here, she's now tried over 5f and that could help.

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.
