Front-running, thrice-raced filly whose RPRs are moving in the right direction; good third at Beverley (8.5f, good) most recently; the pick on form and should have her own way at a track that is likely to suit.

Well beaten when fifth on her debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last summer but showed more at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) 27 days ago; comes from a nice family and she's open to further progress.

9st 9lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: George Scott

Four-race maiden who was placed at Kempton (7f, AW) last summer; made little impact over that C&D on recent seasonal reappearance but this hike up in trip is an interesting move for her handicap debut, and the booking of Oisin Murphy adds further intrigue.

Close third over C&D last August, which requires some respect even though it came in between two heavy defeats (back here latest); gelded since; market can guide for his first run in 300 days.

Second to a subsequent Listed winner in August (1m, good to firm) but disappointed in October after a break and hasn't got going this season, including when hooded for handicap debut at Sandown a month ago; downgraded here but with a bit to prove now.

Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in August but disappointed in October after a break; plugged on without threatening when fifth at Nottingham on her reappearance in April and she'll need to tap back into that Salisbury promise to make an impact on this handicap debut; newly fitted hood might help, though.

T: David O’Meara

Third to two better-fancied rivals on seasonal reappearance at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April, and occupied that same position in a three-runner affair at Hamilton (8.5f) subsequently; a glance at his pedigree suggests that tackling this longer trip isn't an obvious move.

J: Billy Garritty

T: Michael & David Easterby

Modest form in three qualifying runs and took a step backwards, despite being fairly prominent in the market, when sixth of seven at Musselburgh (1m, good; looked awkward) on his handicap debut in August; pedigree suggests this step up in trip should suit but work to do on AW debut.
