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.

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.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden who was only beaten 2l when fourth of nine on handicap debut at Wolverhampton AW in April, but not so good in four runs since; hood worn when last of nine at Wolverhampton AW is dispensed with and it looks like it is back to the drawing board.

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.
