Form & Verdict
Stamina to spare as a dual 6f winner, and 1lb lower now than when making all at Kempton in January; must be a risk that forcing tactics would engage her in a pace battle with Writteninthestars in stall two.

3-14 on the AW for Simon Dow and 0-7 on turf; may need this first start for her new trainer after 256 days off and is probably better over a bit further now.

All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Lingfield (5f) in June; that was a brave success but she's been up and down since and was disappointing in classified event at Chelmsford last time; still lightly raced on turf but this is competitive back in a handicap and others are more solid.

Form & Verdict
Seen making late headway on each of his 6f-7f starts this term (didn't stay 1m), again running on into the frame over the turf track here latest (good); drop to 5f doesn't look the way to go on that evidence.

Mostly campaigned on AW but he's now 2-9 on turf having landed C&D classified (good to firm) in June and Lingfield handicap (7f, good) last Tuesday; took advantage of a golden highway that day but did well to pick his way through from the rear and he's respected under a 5lb penalty (1lb well in).

T: Jim & Suzi Best

In good form in the depths of winter, winning two 7f handicaps at Chelmsford; edging back down the weights after some below-par runs but returning to 5f, even in a race that is highly likely to be run at a fast pace, is unlikely to revive his fortutnes.

3yo filly who has shown more since switching to handicaps; fourth of eight at Catterick (6f, good) before good effort on AW at Lingfield (5f) when she left the impression that the return to this trip would suit; back on turf and she's respected now dropping into a classified.

Beaten only a single rival in three starts (6f-1m; at huge prices); returns from a 122-day absence for handicap debut with headgear removed; an official BHA mark of 25 leaves her competing from 21lb wrong.

Twice placed over 5.5f this spring without hitting the line overly strongly (lead wrested from her both times), and 0-12 overall now; drop back to a bare 5f for the first time in over a year looks a plus.

Unimproved twice in April for the application of a hood (over 6f here) and then cheekpieces (all left off now); a first drop to 5f looks worth a try on those showings, if not on the damside pedigree.
