Form & Verdict
Achieved little across her three starts towards end of last year but she's from a respected Lambourn yard and goes handicapping off a basement mark; no surprise if she takes a big step forward, especially if well backed.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Owen Burrows

Won her first two handicaps over 7f on good to firm ground at Leicester and here after returning in May, but may have done too much early when third of six at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month; the drop in trip should help and she would be a big player if handling the likely different conditions.

2-2 since switched to handicaps this season, with both wins gained over 7f on fast ground; raised just 1lb for latter success and the form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; hard to beat if stamina holds out over this new trip.

Form & Verdict
Took a step forward when sent off favourite and runner-up on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) last Monday; runs off the same mark today and he's a major player if transferring his improvement back to better ground.

A winner of three of his last five starts (all 1m), including when he made all in amateur riders' event at Thirsk 12 days ago; 2lb nudge makes life a little harder but he comes here in form and should cope with the drop to 7f.

Went very close in a classified event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month but that is her standout effort from seven starts and she was tailed off at Brighton last time; comes with risks attached and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark; cheekpeices are removed after one use.

Low-mileage filly who made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May and may not have been suited by the soft ground when sixth (behind Nicely Curved) in this grade here (1m) in June; might be the answer.
