Three-time AW scorer who holds weak claims on her two efforts since joining new yard and returned to turf, last of five at Catterick (5f) latest; 0-8 in this sphere; others preferred.

Ex-Jack Jones (bought for 3,600gns in April); all three wins have been on AW; fair run on stable debut when seventh over 6f at Thirsk (good); well drawn and could go well on a rare run at 5f (races mainly at 6f).

Conditions to suit and he lurks on a dangerous mark; he has been threatening of late and was a close second over C&D last night; can make another bold bid.

14-race maiden; has shown winning potential and her two runs since fitted with an eyeshield have been encouraging; tendency to fluff the start means she will always carry risk.

Last run was underwhelming but she was performing well prior to that in 5f/6f handicaps; on the downside, she's drawn quite wide on her first visit to this track.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today.

Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player.
