11-race maiden but she's shown enough to think a race like this could fall her way, including when upped to 2m at Lingfield on her penultimate start (met trouble); caught out wide when only fifth at Chelmsford last month but she's better than that and features prominently in calculations.

Not the force of old and has come a long way down the weights sine joining this yard in 2022; not disgraced despite finishing last of four over C&D in July and his latest fifth of eight in an amateur riders' race here (1m6f, also good; first-time cheekpieces) was a wee bit better than it looks; essentially hard to get too excited about these days, though, and it could be a quiet ride home alongside three stablemates with more obvious prospects.

Quite useful in his prime but very lightly raced since 2021; returned from his latest long layoff with a 22l defeat in 2m AW race in June and although he was beaten only 6l here (2m) five weeks later, that was a slowly run race and he was last of four; cheekpieces are enlisted.
