Form & Verdict
Won three AW nurseries as a 2yo; series of good 5f AW runs this year and a rare 6f run two weeks ago is not the race to judge her on; more to prove on turf but her two cracks on turf were he first two starts and she's a different filly now; one to consider.

Not entirely disgraced at Newcastle last week and probably remains in form; narrow success on penultimate outing took her C&D record to 121; solid claims back here.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; 0-8 but her only poor run in five starts for Rebecca Menzies came when blowing the start at Wolverhampton in April; stall 1 and the likelihood of a contested lead suggest it's best to look elsewhere.

Sole win (from 23 attempts) came in AW classified in January; however, she's run well off this mark in turf handicaps on her last four starts (5f/6f, good/good to firm) and there's every chance she'll be bang there.

1-22; third to a stablemate of Classy Clarets over 5f here (12-1) on penultimate start, and better than the bare form suggests - switched left to make solid late headway - when fourth to Classy Clarets at Hamilton (5f apprentices') on Friday evening; 6f looks ideal; player.

Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins in 2023; ended a losing run with a front-running success at Ripon 13 days ago (5f, good; runner-up has run well since); 6lb rise makes life tougher but not impossible judged on last year's best; high on the list once more.

Front-runner; made all at Ripon (5f, good) in June off a 6lb lower mark than today; below form since being beaten a neck at Musselburgh last month; needs first-time visor to spark her back up but she has run well in cheekpieces in the past.

Form & Verdict
Her best form has come on slower than good to firm but she ran a fine race on that surface when second to a thriving rival over C&D last month (winner and third won since; Sixcor back in fourth); up 2lb but travelled strongly last time and she has the rail to help today; dangerous if the ground doesn't get too quick.

Not at the top of her game at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago but before that she was an encouraging fourth on her comeback at Ayr (5f, good to firm); third in this last year and might not be far away if bouncing back.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark in a C&D handicap last October; also went close here off a 4lb higher mark the following month; his first two runs this year were promising and good to firm ground was perhaps too lively for him on his last two starts; up to making a big impact at this level but drying conditions are a concern.

Huge prices and well beaten in three 5f novice/maiden runs since December; wind surgery a fortnight ago could help and she runs in a tongue-tie for the first time; far from solid but this is at least more realistic; betting to guide.
