Form & Verdict
Has won on good ground but suited by slower; most racing over sprint trips but she's broadened her horizons over 7f of late and found plenty when winning over C&D last week, idling in front; 1lb badly in under penalty but she won off a higher mark than today's in 2024; good chance.

J: Darragh Keenan

Two wins and a second to her name in three runs here, all over C&D; slid to a dangerous mark now, being 8lb lower than when last successful, but she's lost her way this year; soft ground ideal, so the more rain the better for her.

Five-time winner from 32 starts, the latest success coming at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) last August; below her best in three starts this year and this drop back to 6f isn't certain to suit, but she is back on a handy mark.

Form & Verdict
Three 7f wins on Kempton AW; down weights but he's 0-3 on turf and not in much form in recent times, most recently at Kempton when back from another break for new yard; unconvincing with cheekpieces fitted.

Three-time course winner over 7f for his previous stable but was third over this trip at Windsor in September; well held in both starts since returning from a break and first-time blinkers now replace cheekpieces; dropped another 3lb.

All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days.

A three-time 7f winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024; largely in good form for his current yard last term so he's no forlorn hope on his return.

Form & Verdict
Some good AW runs in the spring, winning over 7f at Kempton, and he still looked in form at Southwell in July; made no impact when down in grade at Wolverhampton recently but still worth a look back on turf.

All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact.

Form & Verdict
Has won two of her last three AW starts, at 7f and 1m, but her turf mark has risen in tandem and she has something to prove back on grass, having been soundly beaten at Brighton on latest attempt in May (won on soft there in 2024); rain helpful, though.
