Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; won a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) last September and she got back on the scoresheet when landing a Yarmouth handicap (1m; first-time visor) last month; up 3lb but she overcame trouble to score with a bit in hand last time and is open to more progress; key player.

Form & Verdict
Solid operator who recorded his fourth AW win when scoring at Lingfied last month; 0-9 on turf but he returned to this sphere with a close third at Newbury (1m, good) last Friday; up another 2lb but he was as good as ever last time and he's respected.

J: Rob Hornby

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here.

4 yo Colt

OR: 66

Form & Verdict
Sole win was as a 2yo but he's dropped a long way in the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Kempton (7f, AW); should be fine on this step back up in trip and has claims if he repeat that form back on turf.

Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away.

Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf.

Triple Tapeta winner but his last success was 16 months ago and he was out of sorts in final two runs last season; has something to prove after 205 days off and his turf form lags behind his best AW efforts; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Four wins for Adam West and latest was over C&D (good to firm) last September; still 5lb higher than for that success but she's made a good start for current yard with two close finishes on AW at Lingfield; usually races prominently and she's respected back at this track.

Both wins have come on AW at Lingfield and he had an excuse after a wide trip there on his return last month; only 2lb higher than for his last win in January but he's 0-13 on turf and others are more persuasive.
