Form & Verdict
Hasn't finished out of the first three in eight starts since handicapping, finding a bit of improvement for cheekpieces (retained) at Pontefract (1m4f, soft) in July when landing win number two; a 5lb rise looks fair.

Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this.

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback.

J: Oisin Orr

Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive.

4 yo Filly

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 12 starts but she's been knocking on the door in her two runs this season and is only 1lb higher than for her latest near-miss at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm); didn't get much luck in that race and she's a key player back from three months off.

Started off in handicap hurdles with three good-ground wins for Kevin Philippart de Foy last spring (2m-2m1f) and is back on a good mark now; just a respectable fourth when back over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) three weeks ago but still enters calculations.

3-9 over hurdles but was tailed off in her final jumps run in November (2m2f, good) and she's been good and bad on the AW since then; C&D winner who is on a realistic mark but she is becoming tough to predict.

Rare Flat runner for her jumps-oriented yard; has been faring respectably in similar company of late, latterly in a Kempton handicap that didn't pan out ideally; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Frankel filly from the family of Oaks/King George winner Taghrooda; comfortably held in three novice runs (13l fourth on AW last time) but no surprise were she to take a step forward now handicapping back from two months off.

Great pedigree, by Frankel and from the family of Oaks/King George winner Taghrooda; nothing to shout about in three novices and again when beaten about 10l on handicap debut at Haydock (1m3f, good to soft) despite going off favourite.

Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good.

3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark.
