Form & Verdict
Gained six of her nine wins here; close third off today's mark over C&D (good) last month and also ran well over 5f a few days later; below that form twice since (5.7f/5f) but it won't be a surprise if she rebounds.

Connies Rose

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Grace Harris

Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field.

J: William Carson

Seven-time course winner (4-12 over this trip); has been running over 7f of late but should be all right with the return to 5f and is back at the right sort of level off her last winning mark; enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Did pretty well last year (two wins) and returned with two good efforts this spring, latterly when fourth of 12 on turf return at Windsor (6f, good to firm); may yet have a bigger run in her; must be considered.

Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more.

Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best.

Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course.

Form & Verdict
Well down the field on first two starts this year but kept on well for third at Bath (5.7f firm) last month; might have gone close there had a gap opened at the right time and this C&D also suits him; shortlisted.

Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart.

Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives.

A few near-misses to go with her C&D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that.

Rarely runs on turf but was close third at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago; returned from break with encouraging run at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, keeping on from a long way off the pace for sixth, and has possibilities if coping with the forecast slow ground.
