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.

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.

Ran encouragingly over C&D on final start during brief spell with Thomas Faulkner and found 7f too sharp on debut for Ian Williams; very well handicapped on best form and looks interesting back up in trip.

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.

Never dangerous over 7f in sole outing this term; has a record of 3-3 over C&D (all on good ground last term; 0-17 elsewhere) and looks very interesting returned to this scenario; favourably treated off 1lb below last winning mark.

Progressive after joining this yard last May, winning three times at Ripon (1m, good) and posting a close third at Ayr (1m, soft) in September when last seen; the drop back to 7f might not be ideal on his reappearance but he's one to consider nevertheless.

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.

Generally consistent apart from one moderate run on good to soft this year; he has won twice this summer, at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and over C&D (good to firm) with Jake Dickson on board; looks sure to give another good account.

Two 1m wins on Polytrack this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; finished runner-up three times since her last success including at Wolverhampton (7f) and Ffos Las (1m) in last two runs; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and has leading claims.

Two 1m wins on AW this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap, and she was close to her best when second over 7f back on AW 16 days ago; limited evidence to go on if the ground softens but otherwise acts on turf and should make her presence felt.
