Form & Verdict
Soft ground will be a first but she was well on top in a 6f maiden at Chepstow a month ago (good) and that was her best form yet; doesn't look handicapped out of contention off this mark, especially with Elizabeth Gale taking off 5lb.

J: Rossa Ryan

Can lead; has form at both sprint trips but her win came in a 6f Chepstow maiden (good); had the widest draw to overcome when finishing last of nine on Lingfield AW in May and has more going for her in this lower grade back at 6f; first-time cheekpieces fitted.

Mainly consistent last year, including a win in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good), and her final effort can be forgiven on account of the draw; has to overcome a 230-day absence, though, and she has the outside stall.

Form & Verdict
Had been expensive to follow but first-time cheekpieces did the trick when a clearcut winner at Brighton (maiden over an extended 5f; good); now 5lb higher than when narrowly held in his two previous handicaps but that rise is erased by Jack Callan's claim; soft ground a first.

Expensive to follow in first seven starts but he's scored in cheekpieces in two of his last three runs, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, soft) last Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but he's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player.

Consistent yet frustrating sort who has a habit of finishing second and has been a beaten favourite on four occasions; comes with some risk but first-time headgear may enable him to go one better.

Close fourth at Windsor but still went off 11-1 for nursery debut at Ffos Las (good to soft) and was only fourth of six; has had no trouble holding her position at 6f and drops to 5f for the first time here.

Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate.

Newmarket debut in April was encouraging but hasn't progressed at all and was only seventh of ten in a C&D novice when last sighted in June; bit risky on nursery debut, especially as soft ground will be a first.

Flattered to push the winner quite so close on his nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good) but that shows he can win races off this mark; unraced on soft and his useful dam appreciated a quick surface.

Has come into his own in 5f handicaps for this yard, looking ahead of his mark when winning cosily at Newbury (good to firm) latest, despite hanging away from the whip; has a much stiffer task in this company but his dam won this race for the stable in 2020 when wearing first-time cheekpieces, as her son does today; just out of the weights but intriguing.

On the up for new stable this year, fourth at Windsor on his return in May before getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; still looked to be learning his job on that occasion and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; apprentice rider Harry Vigors making a big name for himself; lots to like.
