Form & Verdict

Ex-Irish maiden who has not progressed so far and she was never dangerous when fifth of eight at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; that was only her third handicap but she needs to raise her game.

Cut little ice in three runs for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland but she showed promise for her new yard when eighth of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 22 days ago, staying on when badly hampered late on; she's one to consider off a 2lb lower mark.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over 1m at Yarmouth and latest was in August 2022; went close there in July but she's hard to predict and has been disappointing in last two runs; has quite a lot to prove again after a break and she's 0-18 on AW.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have been at 7f and last two were over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in March, but that was off 5lb higher and he didn't run badly over 6f at Newcastle last time; seems effective with or without headgear and he could be dangerous back up in trip.

Close fourth over C&D on penultimate start, but couldn't build on that in reapplied cheekpieces next time (headgear now discarded); now 6lb below last winning mark (over C&D last March) and is 2-4 for Callum Shepherd, so looks one for the shortlist; yard has made a good start to the year.

Ran respectably a couple of times in August, but she's lost her way since then and has beaten one rival on Tapeta in last three starts (7f-8.6f); record now stands at 0-12 and she needs a major turnaround; hood removed.

Both wins have been on the AW, the first as a 2yo over 5f here and the latest over 7f at Lingfield in August; did well to snatch third after missing the break over C&D last time and she should get a better tow in this race; interesting for in-form yard.
