Sprung a 25-1 surprise at Salisbury last May and she makes her seasonal reappearance off the same mark; subsequent efforts were more miss than hit, however, and she has a five-month absence to overcome.

Sterling work in 2025, winning five times over 6f, including two over this C&D (good to firm; has also won on soft); winless this year but she lost her lead only late on to Melissa Honey here in August and looks sure to be involved in her first course run since.

Five-time winner (soft/good to firm); runner-up at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July and went close at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) next time, but she was down the field on the AW at Southwell two weeks ago (has won there); needs to bounce back but could do.

Often flattered to deceive for Henry Candy but he has fallen in the weights and both runs for Tony Carroll have both been positive; Hector Crouch takes over tonight and the return to 6f can help; still time to come good.

All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.

Modest form in three runs in 5f novice/maiden events but there has been promise and he looks a likely improver now upped in trip and switched to low-grade handicaps; interesting.
