On a roll, winning two of her last three, including for this rider at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; 11-4) five weeks ago; no issues with this track - runner-up here last December - and a 4lb rise isn't necessarily punitive; key player.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ed Dunlop

Similar run of juvenile form included a win in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last year and it was a first win since when taking Nottingham handicap (good to firm) over this trip three weeks ago; 3lb nudge but the runner-up has won since; firm contender.

Form & Verdict
Won a Goodwood novice (1m2f, good) for James Horton last May but she's generally struggled in handicaps since including in in Ireland this season; record is now 1-13 and she has something to prove for another new yard; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

10st 0lb

J: Finley Marsh

T: Jim & Suzi Best

Made it second-time lucky for her current yard when dead-heating off a reduced mark at Brighton last month; remains well treated on old form but she's hard to predict and was disappointing at Chepstow three weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and both wins have been at 1m2f.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Jim & Suzi Best

Has done well in two starts since joining this yard, dead-heating at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; clearly in good form just now, but has a 5lb penalty to carry and softening ground will pose a question.

J: George Wood

Goodwood novice winner for James Horton last spring who tumbled down the weights in Ireland this season; solid in the market for her new yard at Newmarket on Friday and that was a step back in the right direction.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including a last-gasp success at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher here and he's a big player again if he can back that up.
