Won off 2lb higher at Bath (5f) in June but she's not really fired in last four runs and was never dangerous behind My Turn Now at Chelmsford last month; often hooded, first-time blinkers today; needs to rediscover her spark.

Quirky veteran who's always reliant on some luck given her run style; landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D for Myla Coppins last month and may get this run to suit; player.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at 14th attempt when scoring at Chelmsford (5f) in October but he made no impact behind My Turn Now on return visit last month; that was from a wide draw but he's not easy to predict and needs to step up.

Both wins have come over 5f at Chelmsford, the latest in a classified event in February; well beaten on his last four starts, however, and hopes appear to rest on the addition of a tongue-tie perking him up; betting useful.

Two AW wins at 5f but he never set foot on turf until down the field in a Leicester classified on penultimate start and he didn't shine when returned to the AW at Southwell in June; has something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Has patchy record and didn't get very far at Newcastle (unseated soon after start) last time, but he was a good second at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run; same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from 17 starts but that came off 3lb higher at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in February; mixed record in five runs since but he was beaten less than 3l over C&D last month and that was after a break; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out from stall one.

Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck.

C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form.

Her first win came over C&D in February and the second was after wind surgery at Chelmsford (5f) last month; caused a surprise with that 25-1 win but she battled well to beat Suanni and going back up 3lb looks fair; big player again.

Her only win came in a three-runner handicap at Bath in August (5f, firm) but she's had a couple of close calls since and was a creditable third over C&D last time; seems tactically versatile and in the mix.

Expensive to follow this year, for all that she's a winner (5f, good to firm; 5-4f); has the ability to be competitive at this level but stall 7 is wide enough and she's light on AW experience (figures of 636 at Wolverhampton).
