Form & Verdict
420,000gns yearling who faced a useful winner when well held at odds-on on Tapeta in the spring; dam won over this trip and has produced a 1m2f winner, so the longer trip ought to help now she's handicapping; also wears a first-time tongue-tie; still has some potential.

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

Unbeaten with tongue-tie enlisted for her three handicaps, red-hot favourite on last two occasions; those wins at Salisbury, Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) and York Ebor meeting (good to soft) were at about 1m2f but her dam stayed 1m4f and it wouldn't be a shock if she proved capable of defying latest 6lb rise.

Improved upon her first three runs when upped in trip to win on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and she followed up in dominant fashion at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); this unexposed 3yo could take a 9lb rise in her stride if conditions aren't an issue.

Improved upon her first three runs (7f-8.6f) to win on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago when upped in trip in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); it was a small field but she came clear with an unexposed runner-up and she's just 2lb higher today; this 420,000gns yearling could have lots more to offer for her top yard.

Form & Verdict
Pulled hard when beaten at odds-on on her 7f comeback; it's not hard to pick holes in her Nottingham novice win, upped to this trip 16 days ago, but she did it in decent style and is unexposed entering handicap company; still holds an entry in next weekend's Irish Oaks.

J: Hector Crouch

Nottingham novice winner who chased home a progressive filly on her handicap debut (also 1m2f, good to firm) in July; solid efforts on her next two starts, including when she looked like this drop back in trip will help last time; considered.

Won Nottingham novice (1m2f, good to firm) in June on fourth start and she's since been a clear second to unexposed handicap newcomers in two small-field contests (1m2f, good to firm; subsequent winner Silver Lake on the first occasion); she may yet have a bigger performance in her.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Ralph Beckett

Has taken a while to get the hang of things, but improved form last two starts, winning novice in small field at Nottingham and pulling clear with the winner when second in handicap at Salisbury (both 1m2f, good to firm); tactically versatile and looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who's well suited by a stiff 1m2f, winning twice last summer and going close over C&D in the autumn off tonight's mark; soon gave way once headed on her recent AW comeback from eight months off and needs to improve a lot on that.

Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred.

Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers.

Form & Verdict
Windsor fourth has been well advertised since (first three all successful next time) and she did her bit when winning a 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; that continued the pattern of steady progress and she may well be up to defying a 5lb rise.

Last ran at this distance when taking Leicester maiden (good to soft) in October; scored at Lingfield in June and, after a blip, it was a solid second here (also 1m2f, good) 19 days ago; went for home soon enough on latter occasion and this drop back in trip is no reason to dismiss her; contender.
