Form & Verdict
Lightly raced; her 1m form on turf and the AW suggests she should find a race off her current mark but she just plugged on at one pace when a remote fourth of six on the step up to 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) recently; this may be easier but she needs to prove her stamina.

Still to register a victory but she's proving a reliable filly and returned from eight months off with a clear second of five in 1m Southwell handicap last month; can race off the same mark here and this step up in trip promises to suit so she's a player.

Yet to win a race but last season's three handicap runs were all encouraging; this is the least-competitive race she has tackled and switching to AW shouldn't faze her on pedigree; Billy Loughnane booked; should go well back from a break.

Form & Verdict
Three turf wins at up to about 1m2f (good to soft and soft), most recent in 2024; promising reappearance on AW in February but he hasn't done as well since and there was little in the locker at Hamilton recently.

Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back.

Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away.

4 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Some promising AW runs as a 3yo and she was an emphatic winner on her reappearance at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April, albeit the second, who has won since, was not seen to best advantage; up 8lb but has hopes of doing better again in her first turf handicap.

Hard to predict and has record of 1-15 but she bounced back with a good third in a Class 4 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if she can back that up and she's still lightly raced on turf.

Form & Verdict
Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) in September; always out the back at Chester (about 1m2f, good; 50-1) recently on handicap and yard debut, but he kept on well enough to think this stiffer track will suit; his mark may still be on the high side, though.

Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) last September; a little below that level in two 1m4f handicaps for new yard and even a return to his best may leave him vulnerable against a couple of progressive 3yos from top stables.

Form & Verdict
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though.
