Form & Verdict

Dual turf winner last season (6f, soft/7f, good to firm); unexposed over this trip and a repeat of her penultimate run at Brighton (1m, good to firm) would probably see her involved; not quite as good on AW since.

Form & Verdict

Sole win came in an AW classified contest (7f; first-time hood and tongue-tie combination) in February; below par AW run latest but ran with credit in both starts in April; a repeat of his penultimate run at Brighton (1m, good to firm) would see him thereabouts.

Form & Verdict

Sole win was over a similar trip on Lingfield's Polytrack; placed four times on turf over 7f/1m, on a variety of ground; below par when last seen on AW in March; has dropped to a handy mark if she can reproduce her best 2021 turf form after a break.

Form & Verdict

4-15 on AW but 0-10 on turf, where is form has been significantly inferior; having said that, his Haydock second (10.5f, good to firm) from last September might bring him into this, if he can repeat what has so far looked a one-off.

Prolific winner at up to 7.5f (stays 8.5f), although ended a barren spell of almost three years when winning a Catterick claimer (7f, good) latest; drops 3lb despite that success but will need to better that effort to have serious follow-up claims.
