Form & Verdict
0-5 and her followers got their fingers burnt when she was a beaten favourite, albeit running well on the figures, over C&D last month; however, there should be more to come from her.

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.

Has improved for handicaps and edged home in a small field at Wolverhampton (1m4f AW); only 2lb higher now but in what looks a better race.

Form & Verdict
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this.

Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration.

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback.

0-6 but she ran her best race so far when close second in a Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) two weeks ago; has shaped as though this step up to 2m should be fine and she's strongly respected off only 1lb higher than last time.

Five-race maiden who was hindered by traffic issues over C&D (behind Marnier) most recently; has encouraging form otherwise and is bred to do better still, being a half-sister to three winners (including Group 1) for her connections; shortlisted.

Half-sister to connections' top-class Pyledriver; promise in four runs at 1m4f, including her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month, and this trip should suit even better; more to come but this is a rise in class.
