Form & Verdict
Seen far more often over hurdles in recent years and she's pretty useful, but pulled up in March on latest outing; stiff task in a three-runner race last September and that's her only Flat run since a creditable show over C&D (good to firm) in June 2022; down the weights but not solid.

Won two handicaps in a row at Sedgefield (2m4f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year before tough Grade 2 task at Doncaster; however, only fifth when back in a handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and needs a bigger performance this afternoon.

Form & Verdict
Has run over 1m4f and 2m but never in between and it's worth a shot; respectable fourth of seven under usual rider Jack Dace at Newbury (2m) on penultimate start came off 3lb higher and, despite a poor show on AW last time, he needs a second look in the first-time hood.

Three-time winner at 1m2f (good to firm) although that was back in 2022/23 and his last success came over 1m6f at Sandown in July; tailed off on final start last term and two runs (1m4f) this season contained little encouragement.

Form & Verdict
Won for the first time on the Flat when bolting up from the front in an amateur riders' event at Newbury (1m4f, heavy) last October off 7lb lower; rather in and out since but his recent third at Goodwood (1m6f, good) was creditable; 5lb claimer is now recruited.

An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously.

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
Wore cheekpieces on last two outings and won them both; neither was without alarm, as he hung badly left when challenging at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on first occasion and needed plenty of riding to oblige at 11-10 in a five-runner race at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) on latest; however, raised just another 3lb and this staying prospect has more to give.

Form & Verdict
Both of his wins (from 30 races) were in summer 2022; it's over a year since he accomplished anything significant and slow starts are playing a part; while he should be well down the weights, position 5lb out of the handicap takes the gloss off that.
