Form & Verdict

Two wins from just four attempts; comfortably beat four rivals in Carlisle novice (7f, good to firm) last August and she became upset in the preliminaries before running poorly on handicap debut here next time; retains potential and she's an interesting candidate after a layoff.

Won over C&D on debut in June and had a near-miss at Doncaster next time before scoring at Carlisle (7f novice) last month; now switches to a competitive handicap but she's a promising type who should have more to offer; shortlisted.

Made debut in July and showed ability in novice contests on turf in August, but she was soundly beaten at 18-1 on her handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; unraced on slow ground.

Faces a more realistic task now handicapping at a low level but her last two efforts have come in slowly-run affairs and this opening mark isn't an obvious gift.

Form & Verdict
Kameko filly who cost 75,000gns as a yearling; made promising start when runner-up to 1-8 favourite at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago; that form puts her firmly in the picture and she should know more this time; big player.

12-race maiden who finished runner-up in four of her eight starts for Ed Walker, but she hasn't matched that form in four outings for this yard; best efforts have come at 7f.

Attractively handicapped on form as recent as last December but she needs to improve upon what she showed on her three outings this spring if she's to get off the mark this afternoon (0-11).

With Ed Walker when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f; 28-1) on New Year's Eve; changed hands in February for 5,000gns and she's yet to shine (0-2) for this trainer; competes from an easing mark, back in trip seeking to make it 11th-time lucky.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-7 but she went close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in final two runs for Jane Chapple-Hyam; changed hands for 24,000gns last month; conditions should be fine back on turf and she should be in the thick of things again for new yard.
