Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden who has not finished closer than 16l to a winner; wasn't disgraced at big price in small-field maiden at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month but this is competitive back in a handicap and others are preferred.

Improved form switched to front-running tactics at Kelso (good) this term, winning over 2m then close third over 2m2f; may have more to offer; likely player.

Form & Verdict
Made her belated breakthrough (26th attempt) when scoring in good style at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; well-held second off this revised mark at Fakenham but that was behind an improver and she was clear of the third; remains feasibly treated on her best form and she's in the mix.

J: Joshua Thompson

T: Micky Hammond

Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break.

Eventually opened account at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April, her 24th hurdling start, and has made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; may find others better handicapped here, though.

Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson.

Form & Verdict
Overall record of 0-12 and held over fences (2m5f, good) in her final run last June; hasn't had many chances in handicaps but she's been hard to predict and has something to prove back over hurdles after 11 months off.

Has been getting her act together over fences and the breakthrough came at Cartmel (2m1f) in July on her penultimate start; stayed on from the rear when third of eight over that C&D (also good) ten days ago; this sort of trip is probably worth exploring again.

The breakthrough had been coming and he was much too good for Pittsburg over C&D (good) a month ago; 7lb higher but something appears to have clicked.

14-race maiden; in the frame in three consecutive good-ground chases since dropped back to about 2m this season but needs to find something extra to get a win on the board here and the forecast slower ground is a worry.

Form & Verdict
0-14 over hurdles but has form figures of 232235323 since joining current yard last summer; edging back up the weights but she was a good third in big field here (2m5f) last time and that was after a close call over 2m2f (good) at this track; cheekpieces are now added and she's respected back in trip.

Not quite at his best this year but last month's Hexham third was respectable and she remains only 2lb higher than when beating Saligo Bay to win this race under Thomasina Eyston in 2025; can't be ruled out.
