Form & Verdict
Nine of her 11 runs have been on AW but she won a Catterick novice (6f, soft) last autumn and was close fourth in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good to soft) on her penultimate run; well-held third at Wolverhampton ten days ago but that was behind a major improver and she's respected back in this sphere.

Won twice last autumn and latest was over C&D; 0-10 since that last success but she's been placed twice over C&D and didn't get any luck when favourite here (fifth of nine) last Monday; could be a big factor if she gets the breaks this time and she's in the mix off a dangerous mark; blinkers removed.

Form & Verdict
Defied this mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) last summer but has mixed record in five runs for current yard and was out the back at Doncaster (7f, good) last month; has something to prove and he's untried as a sprinter.

Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past.

Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage.

Well handicapped on old form but last win was in May 2023 and he's finished down the field in three runs this season; visor now returns and he needs to raise his game.

Without a win since spring 2023 and absent since finishing down the field on final start for George Baker in May; on another career-low mark for stable debut, though, and won't mind what the weather does; swaps cheekpieces for first-time eyeshields.

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed colt who won a Newcastle novice (6f, AW) in November and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month; nudged up 2lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and is open to more progress back on turf; interesting contender.

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well.
