Form & Verdict
Ran poorly in her previous handicap (three runs back) and two best efforts have come on soft ground, when close up in a 7f maiden in June and latterly her third at Windsor (6f novice); rain would bring her into the equation.

Well suited by soft/heavy ground on turf, as was her sister Queen's Eyot; off since a below-par effort last October and is some way down the pecking order.

All three runs on slow ground have been good and she came out on top at Salisbury last time (6f, heavy); a 3lb rise shouldn't be too damaging.

Form & Verdict
First two runs were promising and she perhaps found fast ground against her when a beaten favourite here last time; well bred, could be quick enough for this first try over 6f and this is her handicap debut.

0-14 but she finished runner-up twice here (1m/1m1f) last month and had another close call at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; on same mark as for her last two runs and she should make another bold bid; cheekpieces added.

Regressive maiden who's found her level for this yard, twice finishing second on turf last month, including over this sort of trip for the first time latest; needs to improve on previous AW work if she's to make it 14th time lucky.

0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence.

Form & Verdict
Leicester maiden winner in May (7f, good to firm); similar form when second over Windsor's 6f on her penultimate start (good to firm) but beaten further back there 11 days ago when soft ground was no excuse; seems inconsistent.

Off the mark in a maiden at Leicester in May (6f, good to firm), but her form in handicaps since has been patchy; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt.

T: George Boughey

Probably hasn't enjoyed heavy/good to soft ground on turf the last twice but his record on Polytrack (4212) is a bit better than on Tapeta (484) and he remains 4lb higher than for his Kempton win (6f) in August.

Kempton winner (6f; from 5lb lower) in August; moderately progressive form came to an abrupt end on heavy ground at Salisbury (6f; favourite) latest, and it is a legitimate concern that his three best efforts have been on AW; cheekpieces added to regular tongue-tie.
