Form & Verdict
Switched to making the running of late and really hit the rising ground to win going away having looked in danger of being caught over a furlong out at Sandown on Thursday (1m2f, good); carries 6lb penalty here but is effectively 7lb higher; bold bid expected.

Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground.

Readily won back to back last July (made all) and went down by a head in October (all 1m2f on turf); much more like it when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Salisbury 13 days ago, finding just an Andrew Balding 3yo too strong; will need to settle better if she's to see this trip out best.

Largely in good form this term, notably two wins in the spring; ran well, beaten narrowly by the market leader, in four-runner field at Yarmouth (11.5f) latest run; upped in grade but receives weight all round; solid chance.

Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Landed a maiden last August and placed in a handicap this April (both 7f, Tapeta); again finished weakly when tackling a trip of around 1m at Nottingham 15 days ago (following wind surgery this time) and a leap of faith is required to get involved over 1m2f here.

Form & Verdict
Positives to take from each of his three starts over 1m in novice/maiden company; it looks as if he'll come into his own over 1m2f+ and the fact his sister Miss Dolly Rocker won at up to 1m4f bodes well; interesting handicap debutant; hood no longer deemed necessary.

Decent run of form in handicaps came to an end at Newmarket last month and looked anything but a natural when unseating at the second in a juvenile hurdle subsequently; can oppose; visor given a whirl.

3yo who returned to form in reapplied cheekpieces and a first-time tongue-tie (both retained) to win at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month; led on the line last time and this further increase in distance could be a positive; effective here and she's one to consider.

Course winner at 1m in February and she followed that with two close calls at the trip on Tapeta and turf; no progress since returning from a short break, though, and she has some holes in her case up in distance with returning cheekpieces replacing a visor and a tongue-tie added.
