Form & Verdict

Added another three wins to her tally last season, including two over C&D (6-13 at the track); recent outing at Lingfield (AW) should have sharpened her up; could face competition for the lead today.

Form & Verdict

Three-time winner, most recently at Chelmsford in February (1m2f), and no problem with this trip on fast ground; not much margin for error off current mark but likely to give his running.

Form & Verdict

Improved effort to win by a wide margin over 1m here last May; followed up at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks later before two more placed efforts to round off her 3yo campaign; low-key reappearance at Lingfield (AW) last month but these conditions should see her in a better light.

Form & Verdict

The red-hot favourite underperformed when he broke his duck in a 1m2f novice at Beverley last September (soft) and he has found the handicapper in command since; his best efforts bring him into the reckoning but he will need the drop in trip to squeeze out a bit more.
