Has done well this term, winning three times since cheekpieces have been fitted, scoring by a short head at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month; 2lb higher; should continue to run well.

Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces and the step up to 1m when scoring over C&D (good) in May; after two lesser efforts, she showed her liking for this track when landing her second C&D win (good) 16 days ago; handicapper has whacked her up 8lb but she cannot be dismissed around here.

Napolian

9st 8lb

J: Conor Whiteley

T: David O’Meara

Off the mark in a match at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in June but has struggled for consistency since; best effort when beaten a short head at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month when galvanised by a first-time hood (left off here); came up short since but holds claims if on a going day.

Has mixed record this season but won a match race in June and was seemingly aided by a first-time hood when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) a week ago; on the premises if in the right mood again.

J: George Bass

T: Jack Channon

Built on her stable debut with a narrow success at Windsor in July, but didn't find much off the bridle after travelling well when fourth of seven at Doncaster (again 1m, good to firm) last month; that effort suggests this drop to 7f could suit; wing draw but she's respected.

Second on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in July but not in same form on any of three starts since, and ought to have been suited by return to Tapeta when down the field a week ago; needs to up his game.

Started her career with form figures of 212 but it has mainly been a struggle since; respectable effort when third at Beverley (7.4f) last month but she faded into last of seven at Doncaster last time; needs to bounce back again after that and she still has stamina to prove at this trip; visor added.
