Form & Verdict
Has been running well since March and she's won at Musselburgh (1m/7f, good) in her last three starts; up another 4lb but she's a strong traveller who still looks feasibly treated and is a big player again in her bid for a four-timer.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider who is a triple AW winner; record of 0-19 on turf but he's run creditably in some big-field handicaps (6f/7f) this summer and was a close fourth here (6f, good) on Saturday; this is a quick turnaround but he could go well again back up in trip.

J: Adam Caffrey

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
His two wins have been on soft/heavy but he handles most ground; last success was at Thirsk 16 months ago but he's been placed in last four starts and latest was behind the progressive Finn Ironside at Newcastle (7f, AW) ten days ago; on unchanged mark back on turf and he's respected.

Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest.

Three wins at Catterick (7f, soft) last season and latest was off 2lb higher; gave it a decent shot from the front when fourth at Catterick 19 days ago but he's been up and down since his last success and needs to build on that last run.

Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.

Both wins were in maiden/novice events as a 2yo; went close at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May but she's finished down the field in four subsequent runs; mark continues to fall and this is a big drop back in grade but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces added.
