Form & Verdict
0-8 but she was placed on her turf debut here last month and backed that up with a close third in another 6f handicap, at Carlisle (good); looks interesting off unchanged mark and she should get a good pace on this drop back in trip.

9st 4lb

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Progressive 3yo who has won three of her five starts, including with a strong finish at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago; that was a last-gasp success, but she showed a fine attitude and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark; big player.

Has mostly been in good nick on turf this summer, winning at Ripon and Beverley; needs to transfer that form to AW (first six races of her career were on AW) but looks a player if she can.

Got off the mark when scoring over C&D (good) last month; met trouble in running subsequently at Musselburgh but resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago; looks a potent force while in this class and may well go in again.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row over 6f at Ripon (good) last May but he's been out of sorts this season and was last eight back here three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Front-running wins at Thirsk and over this C&D in July (both on good to firm), the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best here on his last two starts but is worth forgiving for the latest effort, having come across to the near side rail; may be able to bounce back.

Front-running wins at Thirsk and over C&D last month; only fourth behind Miss Rainbow here 13 days ago but he used up a lot of energy getting to the front from the widest stall; better drawn today and he should have a big run in him.

Made all at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month and bounced back from a disappointing effort when winning over this C&D two weeks ago (again made all); can't be dismissed off this 3lb higher mark at a track which suits.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark with a brave win in a Redcar handicap (5f) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and she's a big player again if she can back that up; best form has been on good to firm but she still has low mileage.

Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May and good third at Ripon (5f, good) next time; she's back down to a handy mark but has gone off the boil on her last three starts; needs to get back on track in a first-time visor.

Off the mark at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower; has ruined her chance on latest starts by being fractious in the stalls at Beverley last month, and racing too freely at Ayr last Monday; needs to settle better.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 20 starts was in a classified at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; finished down the field there in last two runs but she had some close calls in April including in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's versatile ground-wise.

No penalty for winning a weak apprentice handicap at Beverley last Tuesday but she scrambled home at a big price there and is unlikely to go up much anyway; now has to back it up and doubt she'd want rain (taken out on good to soft ground recently).
