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.

J: Jason Hart

T: John Wainwright

Four-time AW winner who has finished runner-up in four of her last five starts, including over C&D in June and at Ayr in her last two runs; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's respected back on Tapeta.

J: Jason Hart

T: John Wainwright

Down the field on her seasonal/stable debut in May but she has run well in defeat since, including when a close second over C&D 12 days ago; runs off the same mark today and she won't need much improvement for the addition of blinkers to play a leading role.

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.

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.
