J: Paddy Bradley

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Only 1-15 and seems to have some quirks; quiet on two visits to Ascot in May and probably wants further than this as well.

25/1

Form: 95-517

Last run: 72 days

W: 9st 8lb

4 yo Filly

OR: 79

Form & Verdict
Ran out the ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February but she failed to back it up at Chelmsford ten days later; she is effective on turf but looks up against it in this field on her return from a 72-day break.

Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters.

Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer.

5 yo Colt

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides).

5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day.

Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus.
