Nicely progressive (at 5f/6f) before facing a very stiff task when 50-1 for the Woodcote at Epsom, the form of which was franked this week at Ascot; has to be respected in this less taxing company, despite the penalty.

Won twice as a 2yo, notably a Listed success over C&D last August; life has been tougher since but both this year's runs have been creditable; proven course form and the stands' rail draw will count for plenty and she's one to consider.

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon last August (6f, good; modest form for the grade); reappeared with 2l fourth of seven against males in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago and she has an each-way chance if building on that.

She ran 11 times last year and won twice, including Listed race at Ripon (6f, good) last August; that was relatively modest form for the grade and she needs to prove she's capable off this sort of mark, but is not discounted.

Disappointing on soft ground at Haydock last week, but comes into the reckoning on his two previous runs when second in a Doncaster novice (6f, good to firm) and in an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm); speedy and should be as effective at this trip; worth considering.

All three starts over 6f on fast ground; left sole 2yo run well behind when runner-up on both outings this spring, most recently at Ayr where he was the only one to give the odds-on winner a race; his dam was useful (best form on soft going) and he has potential off his opening mark.

5-7 in 2yo season, a campaign that culminated with Group 3 win at Chantilly (7f, very soft); the drop back in trip could be a positive but she's been well beaten on both starts this season, most recently in the French 1,000 Guineas; carries a 5lb penalty and a major turnaround is needed.
