Form & Verdict
Gained her only success when scoring over C&D last July (second-time cheekpieces, no headgear today) but that came on soft ground, as did her other three best peformances on turf; can go well fresh but would be much more interesting if rain arrived, which isn't forecast.

Form & Verdict
Won on her debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in 2023 but it's been a rocky road since and she's not finished closer than sixth in seven handicaps; handicapper continues to give her a chance but only market support would make her of interest on this first start for 197 days.

Dual C&D winner as well as many good efforts in defeat here and he was second when favourite for this race last year; won at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in July and he's off the same mark having been quiet since, although all those runs were at this track which is a little disconcerting; has gone well fresh but goes without regular cheekpieces.
