Form & Verdict
Gifted the run of the race over C&D (third; 9-1) three weeks ago, but couldn't make it count, weakening behind two better-fancied rivals; a similar scenario could unfold here with stamina reserves inconclusive over 1m4f; 1lb lower.

Pleasing third of five when stepped up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and did the business under those conditions next time, getting the better of the hot favourite; had over 2l to spare at the line and a 5lb rise could have been worse; tough to beat.

Better since fitted with a hood, placed over 8.5f here (fillies' maiden) on penultimate start, and ran to a similar level on handicap debut at Doncaster (fifth; 1m2f) latest; pedigree suggests that she'll handle this extra yardage; chance.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt with a narrow win in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f, AW) last month; disappointing favourite at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last time but he still has potential and has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; in the mix.

Hasn't threatened, making minimal inroads on handicap debut at Southwell (1m; 33-1) over a month ago; now 2lb lower, and set to tackle a new trip with mixed messages on pedigree; surprising if she's the solution to this puzzle.

Productive on AW this spring (form figures 3122); career best when runner-up to the progressive Kakirra (won twice since) at Wolverhampton (1m4f; from 2lb lower) four weeks ago; needs to prove herself conclusively on turf but this sharp left-handed track looks suitable.

Form & Verdict
Struggled on her comeback run at Southwell (1m; 11-1) but there are reasons to think she'll be better over this trip, not least because her dam was a 1m5f AW Listed winner (RPR 105); interesting to see how she takes to this newly applied hood.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a Class 5 handicap at Thirsk last month (1m4f, good), travelling strongly but taking a while to pick up before seeing her race out well; up 5lb but she's bred to be smart and this additional distance looks a big plus; strong contender.

Five-race maiden who has not finished closer than 7l to a winner but she ran into lots of trouble when 6-5 favourite for a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f) last week; still has potential for top yard and she needs a close look back on turf.

Scored over 1m2f here last month, his second start for Lemos De Souza; subsequent third of five behind Cospicua at Kempton (1m4f) was respectable, and he kept on well for second behind Wicksey here (1m2f; first-time blinkers) on Wednesday; the most exposed runner in the field but a likely contender nevertheless.
