Form & Verdict
Consistent filly who confirmed her liking for this C&D when beating Paddy's Day a month ago; a 4lb rise puts her on a career-high mark and with a bit to do if she's to confirm the placings.

Has taken well to Tapeta, with two near-misses over 6f here before a 5f win at Newcastle a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands more but he's done little wrong since cheekpieces went on and enters calculations.

He has taken well to AW, winning over C&D last month and then going down narrowly at Southwell ten days ago; heavily backed here last week but met all the trouble going, eventually coming in fifth of the nine runners; 4lb out of the handicap but last week's run suggests he is back near his very best; this is a classier race but each-way claims.

Plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but doubled his tally when holding off Juicy over C&D early last week; things fell ideally that day but he has no penalty and Zak Wheatley claims his usual 3lb this time for a yard in fine form.

Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field.
