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.

Has improved for blinkers, never better than when making all over 5f on Southwell AW and at Redcar (good), but she dropped away from an awkward draw at Musselburgh since and has it to prove in this grade.

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.

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.

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.

Finished third behind Kyber Crystal in this race in 2024; off the mark for the year when winning at Carlisle (5f, good) last month and he still looked in top form when third at Musselburgh last week, having to wait for a gap as the race unfolded in front of him; handles good to soft but a faster surface would probably be ideal.
