Form & Verdict
Shaped full of promise when runner-up behind a nice prospect on her debut at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August and she built on that when third at York (7f, good; raced freely and suffered interference) the following month, looking as if she would cope with this drop to 6f; off since and now makes her AW debut but sets the standard.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Ed Walker

Unraced on ground slower than good; off the mark when winning a Chelmsford novice (6f, AW) in January and has since won twice in handicap company with this hood applied, most recently off a steady pace at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; solid effort at Goodwood (6f, good; Woohoo was second) last time and she has each-way claims returned to this trip.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Ed Walker

It was over 7f that she won at the Newmarket July meeting but she raced freely off steady fractions there and won her novice at this trip; 1lb lower than last time if taking into account Ashley Lewis's claim and this improving filly could yet rate higher.

J: William Buick

T: Ed Walker

Low-mileage 3yo; failed to get home over 1m at Carlisle last time when bidding for a hat-trick; gained her wins over 6f/7f (AW/turf) and remains open to further progress back down in distance; still of interest.

9st 5lb

J: Luke Morris

T: James Owen

Went very close off 1lb lower mark on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (6f) and was not discredited when third in Wolverhampton novice a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack and probably won't be far away.

J: Luke Morris

Gradually getting closer to winning, beaten half a length on her Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) in January and by just a short head in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be bang there again.

Form & Verdict
Placed in three of her five starts for David Evans last year but she's ran below the level of her peak efforts in three outings for this stable; runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago and may prove vulnerable again.

J: Callum Shepherd

Has a patchy profile but she won at Lingfield (5f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; well-held second over this trip at Lingfield last time, but she got hampered at the start and that was behind a big improver; shortlisted.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Stuart Williams

Keen-going sort who proved suited by dropping to 5f when gaining a first win at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; struggled after a slow start at York on his next outing but he bounced back with a close second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; nudged up 2lb but pulled clear of the third last time and that was behind a major improver who has won won again since; key player.
