Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer.

T: Grace Harris

Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart.

Form & Verdict
Excuses since returned to turf, and having Jack Callan up is an obvious plus, but she's an exposed maiden whose best efforts have come on AW; the cheekpieces experiment has quickly been binned and she needs to find more from somewhere.

J: Megan Smith

T: George Boughey

Lightly raced maiden; on the premises in AW sprint handicaps in midwinter; has had excuses in two turf runs since, getting loose before the start on the first occasion and then stretched by 7f on soft at Yarmouth recently; still time to for her to do better back at 6f; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Arron D'Arcy (1-10 overall) rode a winner for the trainer, who won this race two years ago, early in the month; no problem with 7f under him last time but the drop back in trip, minus the usual hood, should be fine; player.

Eight-race maiden who has been a bit in and out since handicapping and the removal of the hood (still missing) made no difference when third of four at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last time; needs a bit more.

J: Arron D’Arcy

T: James Fanshawe

Six-race maiden who tends to race too freely; close second of five on seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f), and he comes here with something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps the return to turf will prove the answer but he hasn't shone in two runs in cheekpieces this year, having been gelded, and is regressive; others have stronger claims.

Maiden; progress stalled on AW but 7f was too far for him in March and he can't be ruled out on his most recent turf run, when finishing strongly to be second of nine at Yarmouth (6f, good) in October; possibilities.
