Form & Verdict
Showed some promise when sixth on Goodwood debut (6f, good) but she's taken three backward steps since and was last of eight on recent nursery debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW); has something to prove and she needs a transformation back on turf.

J: Billy Loughnane

Showed some promise when sixth on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) but not so good in two starts since (reported to have hung right on both occasions); now switches to AW for handicap debut and she is closely related to a winner over 1m at this track.

J: Luke Morris

T: Tom Clover

Showed some promise with her sixth-place finish, despite being hindered by an awkward start, at Goodwood (6f, good); disappointing favourite, hanging right, at Newbury (good to firm) since but it's too soon to write her off; may still do better.

Form & Verdict
No progress in five starts but he's run respectably in two nurseries, more recently when fifth of 12 at Newbury (7f, good) 18 days ago; cheekpieces are now added and he could get involved if he can find some extra spark back in trip.

Has found improvement from somewhere to go back-to-back here and it was by nearly 4l last time; hit with an 8lb rise but something has clicked; seems fine on all surfaces.

No match for Maid In Devon three runs back but probably his best form yet when beating Solar Invincible over C&D 17 days ago; 4lb rise is fair enough.

J: Jack Callan

T: Rachel Cook & John Bridger

One win from 18 starts, on Kempton AW (6f) in January, but he's had some excuses and is now 4lb lower than when not beaten far over C&D (good to firm) on yard debut in May; tackles these conditions for the first time since so he's entitled to be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Won a Catterick nursery (6f, good to soft) in July; not seen to quite the same effect in three subsequent runs but she chased home an improver here (5.3f) last time and this return to slower ground looks a positive; in the mix back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in her qualifying runs but she looked a different proposition on nursery debut when landing a gamble over C&D (good; 11-8 favourite) last month; up 4lb for that success but she showed a good attitude to beat Could Be The Move and is open to more progress; all of her runs have been on good/good to firm but she's a half-sister to some soft ground winners.

Seemingly back in good form when third to Gal at Leicester (7f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last month but two lesser efforts have followed (1m/7f) and she now has questions to answer again; headgear removed.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Rod Millman

Began season with three disappointing runs but was seeemingly aided by first-time blinkers (retained) when third at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago, when she was denied a clear run close home and might have been unlucky; another 1lb lower for first attempt at 1m; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
0-6 but she ran her best race so far when a front-running second behind Arvana Belle over C&D 15 days ago; has a 3lb swing in the weights with her old rival and she could make another bold bid; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.
