Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but she's been placed in three of her last four handicaps including when a 2l third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; hood removed) last month; that was in a Class 5 event and she's respected on this drop back in grade.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when winning over this C&D in July (good to firm); disappointed at Doncaster next time but she was a close-up third to Remi Mae at Kempton (6f, AW) two weeks ago; claims if handling the ground (unraced on slower than good).

Made the breakthrough at the 11th attempt when landing a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good to firm) in July; flopped at Doncaster last month, but she remains feasibly treated on her penultimate form and this return to Polytrack is no problem; dangerous if she can bounce back.

Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached.

Promise for Adrian Keatley over the winter but he was expensive to follow for that yard; disappointing in three turf handicaps (6f/5f) for James Owen this season and he needs a transformation with visor now tried.

Raced at sprint trips in early starts for the yard but better for the return to 7f when winning here (good to firm) in August; not so effective at 1m (AW) since and although just a respectable front-running fourth at Yarmouth recently, the return to more patient tactics could suit.

Got his act together with emphatic win in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month, his fifth start for James Owen; could still have more to offer for this stable but was safely held on Polytrack (1m) last week and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Not quite the same horse on Kempton AW last time as he had been over C&D in August, firstly when depriving Pennine Way (good to firm) before finishing a close second next time, but should have a part to play back here.
