Form & Verdict
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her.

Won this in 2021 and was third in one of the divisions 12 months ago; returns off a 6lb higher mark than last year but on the back of two wins at Lingfield, the latest narrowly from the front off 3lb lower; thriving 9yo who must have some sort of chance.

Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance.

Progressed during a light campaign last season and has taken it up another notch the last twice; this looks a deeper race than the Lingfield (turf) handicap in which he was narrowly beaten five weeks ago, though, and he'll need more again.

Form & Verdict
Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf.

Sparingly raced since 2yo debut and not yet off the mark but she put in a spirited late dash in a valuable fillies' handicap on Lingfield AW (1m2f) in December, close behind the winner who was ahead of her mark; acts just as well on turf but has other unexposed types to contend with today.

Her wins after breaks of three months and four months are a positive as she returns from a layoff; resumes on a career-high mark, though, having closed out last year with a second on Tapeta, and she'll need to be spot on to win this; may be the one to lead.
