J: Isobelle Chalmers

Winner of one of her three C&D starts, when making all last month (good; acts on soft), but her race was run from a long way out when going unpenalised next time; not weighted out of it despite going back up 5lb and has had a longer break between races this time; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up all three starts as a juvenile and after a miserable start to this season she was back in form when second again, this time at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) one week ago; still needs to prove herself at 1m, but she finished it off well last time and should be in the shake-up.

J: Oisin Murphy

Nine starts have seen her finish last three times (once under a slipped saddle) and runner-up on the other six occasions; latest defeat came when she chased home Withtearsinmyeyes at a respectable distance at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) last month; revised terms may see her get closer but others are more appealing for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
She has struggled to recapture her 3yo best this term, latterly beaten 7l in a 1m2f Sandown handicap she won readily last year; today's drop back in trip and new cheekpieces could help, however, and this is probably her easiest task for a while; can't be ruled out from a dangerous mark.

Course winner (1m2f) who took advantage of slipping mark with wide-margin win in amateurs' race at Salisbury (1m, good) last month; ran well under a penalty when second in similar event at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) one week later but her revised mark has now kicked in, so more needed.

Back to form with a bang when running away with a similar race at Salisbury (1m, good) last week, pulling 12l clear of the runner-up; 6lb ahead of her revised mark under a penalty; obvious chance but there is a strong suspicion last week's race rather fell apart.
