Form & Verdict
Started in handicaps with a bang last autumn but has rather lost her way since, finishing last of eight at Catterick (5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; hard to be confident but this is a drop in grade.

In top form at present, winning her second on the trot, over C&D (fourth course win) last Tuesday; carries 5lb penalty but every chance there is more in the tank and a hat-trick is a real possibility.

Weighted to her best still, despite having run poorly in two starts back; the visor worn for last year's three wins returns today, which is an obvious plus point and could bring about an improved showing.

Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going.

She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run.

Form & Verdict
Returned from 135 days off to win a 5f handicap at Musselburgh (good) in April; two creditable runs have followed (third over C&D latterly) and she should go well again.

5-55; outran her double-figure odds when third to Beerwah and Zuffolo on seasonal reappearance at Redcar (5f, good); she's failed to build on that since, only fifth (runner-up a winner since) back there ten days ago; is due to ease a further 2lb in the weights.

Form & Verdict
Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well.

Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable.

Stamina was probably stretched over 7f at Ayr on Saturday evening, his first outing for 140 days; may find this test more suitable with a first-time visor also added.
