Form & Verdict
Sole success came when trained by Michael Appleby in January (7f, AW); two moderate runs for Harry Eustace in June and subsequently sold for 2,200gns; headgear removed when sixth of nine on stable debut here (6f, good) last month and she needs to show more.

Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; has been up and down this season and was well held at Ffos Las (7.3f) last time, but she justified strong support there on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and she's effective over C&D.

In good form over C&D this summer, most recently when keeping on well for narrow win on good ground 17 days ago; probably doesn't have much margin for error after 3lb rise but rain will aid her cause.

Scored over C&D (heavy) off this mark last September; showed she was on the way back when beaten a neck over C&D (good) last month and should be in the firing line.

Ten-race maiden but has made the frame in four of her seven starts in handicaps this year; third off this mark at Lingfield and Ffos Las last month and should be thereabouts.

Unsuited by soft ground when a beaten favourite 18 days ago and now 0-11, but her close third at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and she should be okay back on Tapeta.

Not disgraced when fourth of eight at Ffos Las (7f, good) last time and although 1lb out of the weights, is still 2lb lower than when gaining her sole success over C&D (soft; first-time cheekpieces) a year ago; worth a second look.

Inconsistent filly who offered more on her second run back a fortnight ago, when finding 6f an inadequate test (sole win came over this trip on soft ground); bit to find at the weights but is capable if on a going day.

A wind op last autumn has had the desired effect and she got off the mark in a 1m handicap at Bath in June (first time in this combination of accessories); two good runs have followed and if she is to win over this trip, it's likely to be when the emphasis is on speed; each-way shout.

Running well in this headgear lately, winning a 0-60 handicap at Bath (1m, good) in June and keeping on to finish a close third in a similar contest to this at Lingfield (1m, AW) three weeks ago; didn't stay 1m4f in one attempt but should be fine at this trip; player.

Off the mark at the 13th attempt when landing a Bath handicap (1m, good) last month; that was a surprise at 33-1 but she responded well to new equipment and hit a personal best with that comfortable success; big player again if she can back that up.

11-race maiden but is a consistent sort and has made the frame on all six starts this year; ran his usual honest race when fourth of 12 at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces and holds obvious claims off declining mark.

Got the winning habit this season, winning narrowly four times, including here, and going 11lb up the weights; they all came in 0-50 and 0-55 company but it wouldn't be a shock to see him complete the hat-trick back from a two-month break.
