Form & Verdict
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.

Three wins over further for her former stable; operating off a reduced mark now but she was put in her place by Thiscouldbefun over C&D last week and could prove vulnerable again; blinkers back on after one run in cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Cost £300,000 as a breezer and it was a winning introduction in weak three-runner novice at Pontefract (6f) last June; not seen for one year subsequently and similar form in two starts since, including when fourth of eight, beaten 5l, on handicap debut at Thirsk (7f, also good) last month; probably still has untapped potential and this step up in trip is a positive on pedigree.

Cost £300,000 as a breezer but it was a week three-runner novice she won last season (narrowly; 6f) and it wasn't a great novice in which she finished a fairly close sixth on her reappearance two months ago (7f, good; penalised); this mark is no gift on what she's achieved but clearly open to improvement.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on sole start here (1m2f); she recorded two wins on good to soft at around this trip in the spring but got tired on heavy ground at Beverley 17 days ago; that came after an 80-day break, however, and she's a contender to step forward this time.

2-4 so far this year, her latest win coming at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) in May; a 7lb rise looked to find her out back there (soft) the following month and is only 1lb lower now; may find others are better handicapped.

She has looked an improved performer this year, winning at Beverley on her reappearance (8.5f, good to soft) and adding a C&D fillies' handicap last month (good to soft); up in class and now taking on male opposition but she shouldn't be underestimated.

Form & Verdict
Two wins as a juvenile and she's been running with credit since the spring; went up to this mark after being nailed at Newbury (1m, good to firm) in July and shaped as though the handicapper might be in charge when fourth on AW a fortnight ago.

Won on turf and Tapeta as a 2yo, but she's found more progress this season and was only narrowly denied in a Newbury handicap (1m, good to firm) in July; up 4lb, but she's still unexposed at this trip and had three subsequent winners behind her last time; big player back on AW.

Form & Verdict
Last ran at this distance when taking Leicester maiden (good to soft) in October; scored at Lingfield in June and, after a blip, it was a solid second here (also 1m2f, good) 19 days ago; went for home soon enough on latter occasion and this drop back in trip is no reason to dismiss her; contender.

Made it 2-5 when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, good) in June, but she flopped in her follow-up bid at Salisbury (last of five) last time; lost a shoe in that race but she needs to bounce back with another personal best here.

Windsor fourth has been well advertised since (first three all successful next time) and she did her bit when winning a 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; that continued the pattern of steady progress and she may well be up to defying a 5lb rise.

Form & Verdict
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.

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.

Big jolt of improvement when she was just half a length away from landing 400-1 success in Salisbury novice (7f, soft) 99 days ago; interesting to see what she can do on this handicap debut, with the market probably a fair guide.

Yard not noted for newcomers, so pleasing to see her fare so well on debut in early summer (1m); below that level on soft going next time (1m2f) but burst a blood vessel and retains potential back from three months off, albeit maybe in handicaps after this.

Non-runners

Thursday Girl, Silken Bay

Verdict

Wondrous Light (second choice) should step forward on this second run after a break. She needs a good look at possibly rewarding odds, while Lightning Glory is a player after a small nudge for last time’s win. Thursday Girl is also firmly in the picture but OH YES YOU DO ran well over further here last time and gets the nod. Enchant and Withtearsinmyeyes are also considered.[Richard Russell]
