Form & Verdict
Dual 7f Polytrack winner last summer; well below best this year but at least her recent fifth of eight at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction.

Made it 3-3 over C&D, all for Marco Ghiani, when coming away with a progressive rival nine days ago; landed a similarly wide stall today but a 4lb rise looks fair and she could well maintain her unbeaten record on Polytrack.

Currently 2-2 over C&D following two easy wins from the front for Marco Ghiani this time last year; stall 10 not ideal with a view to repeating the tactics but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and she's a player back on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Placed twice over 6f for new stable this spring (turf/Polytrack) and also has form over 7f; needs to bounce back from a poor turf run in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago but has slipped to a tempting mark and will be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers.

Placed twice over 6f for new stable (including here) and he kept chipping away when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton (Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 19 days ago; form figures here read 123 and he's worth considering back at this venue from a tempting mark.

Kempton novice win (6f, AW) for Oliver Cole last October; respectable efforts in 6f/7f handicaps for new yard this year and first-time cheekpieces won't need to give him too much extra having been eased a further 2lb.

Form & Verdict
Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when 13th of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) in May but had wind surgery during subsequent 12-week break and is dropped in grade for this AW debut; moves up in trip; could still have significant potential.
