Form & Verdict
Only her second handicap when doing it comfortably at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) but disappointing that she failed under a penalty at Salisbury with no obvious excuses other than perhaps fast ground might not be her thing; 2lb higher now but, back on the AW, she's a likely contender.

Better with each start since handicapping, culminating in a Wolverhampton win over this trip eight days ago; was allowed her own way in front that night but she's only 3lb higher and could yet be capable of better.

J: Jack Gilligan

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Scored comfortably at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last week on only her second handicap attempt, bouncing back from a costly defeat at Redcar where she was well supported; this Prescott filly is the type to improve further; could well defy a 6lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
0-18 and it was a weak fillies' novice in which she pushed the favourite close 13 days ago; that looks dodgy form and was at 1m; stays 1m4f but not sure about this far.

J: Jack Doughty

Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today.

Form & Verdict
Latest seconds have come on the AW at Kempton (1m4f) and gives the impression that 1m6f will be within range; no wins in 13 starts but he should shed that maiden status sooner or later; has been off since May.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish and now 0-7; no further progress since going close on handicap/stable debut at Kempton (1m4f) in February and was beaten over 6l when third last time (1m4f); worth another go at this trip but he needs to get back near his best.

Her wins come round infrequently now but she's well handicapped on her best form at about this trip for Alice Tregoning in 2024; versatile ground-wise and it's likely that she'll have a say.

No win since September 2022 but second under Alice Tregoning at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) and Haydock (11.5f, good to soft) on two of her last five outings; tailed off on latest but that was her first race on heavy going; competitive if back on song.

Fifth of six on handicap/turf debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) before finishing tailed off on heavy at Hamilton (in first-time cheekpieces now joined by a tongue-tie); plenty of guesswork involved to make a case.
