Form & Verdict
Made a low-key start at Kempton (7f, AW) last autumn but she reappeared with an eyecatching third at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last month; looked unlucky in that race and she's open to more progress at this new trip; strong contender.

J: Connor Beasley

T: Mario Baratti

Stablemate of Danielle last season, winning 1m4f novice at Southwell; creditable fourth in French Listed races (10.5f/1m6f, good to soft/very soft) for new yard, rallying in latter; fair bit to find with the favourite but she's still relatively lightly raced and her fitness is guaranteed.

Half-sister to four winners for the stable, notably Pyledriver (7f-1m4f including AW/Group 1; RPR 125); well-held fourth of nine on recent Kempton debut (1m4f, AW) but that was behind some useful rivals and she should know more this time; in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Failed to beat a rival in her first two starts and she's been well held in last two runs including on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f, good) in May; this looks tough back in a novice and has plenty to find after another break.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Rebecca Menzies

Nine-race maiden who was beaten 24l at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (replaced by first-time visor here); steps back up in trip and sliding down the weights but difficult to make a case for.

Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now.

Form & Verdict
Won by 22l on hurdling debut for Lemos de Souza at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June but the value of that form is open to question and both subsequent runs for Jessica Bedi (Flat/hurdle) were disappointing; has had wind surgery but she's 0-7 on that Flat and looks opposable back in this sphere.
