Form & Verdict
Game effort when winning here (1m2f) in June and ran to a similar level when third at Thirsk (1m) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but she looks weighted near her best again and probably wouldn't want any rain (most of her runs have been on good/good to firm).

She should be well handicapped now and her last two runs have both been respectable; cheekpieces tried last time are now replaced by first-time blinkers; one to consider.

T: Ian Williams

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Won by 4l over C&D (good) on his first two starts for current yard; held in sixth of 11 in hat-trick bid at York (1m, good to firm) last month, but that was a Class 4 and he could resume his progress on this big drop back in grade.

Won three times here (1m) in his first four starts for this trainer in 2025; has found life tough from an elevated mark since; "stopped quickly" in added cheekpieces at Ayr (1m2f; 22-1, beaten 36l) latest; risky proposition.

J: Andrew Mullen

Did well for new stable last season, winning three times over 1m at Ripon; also suited by 1m2f, but launched this campaign with two low-key runs (7f/1m) and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; just one win from 16 starts but that came over C&D in June and he rallied well for a respectable fourth over 7f at Redcar last time; still looks on a workable mark and he's in the mix back up in trip.

Plenty of defeats at short prices this year to go with two wins, including her last five on the spin at 3-1 or under; handicapper cuts her no slack either, thanks to her consistency, but she's more likely than most to give her running.

Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year; 0-11 on turf but she was runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in June and a good third behind Kaleidoscope Eyes there (7.3f, good) last time; should go well again and she won't mind if the ground becomes testing.

Form & Verdict
Won over 7f (AW) and 1m (soft) in Ireland this spring and he made a solid start for this yard when runner-up behind an easy winner at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; has possibilities off unchanged mark and it would be a positive if rain arrives.
