Form & Verdict

Promising third of six over C&D (good) on debut but didn't build on that run when second at 11-8 favourite on his latest start at Newmarket (6f, good); probably needs to find extra to win this.

Form & Verdict

Belied odds of 25-1 when just touched off on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) 15 days ago; green there so improvement very much on the cards and has leading chance on RP ratings.

Form & Verdict

Beaten less than 5l despite finishing last of the six runners on debut over C&D (good) last month (Metahorse third); should improve but nurseries will probably see her to best effect.

Form & Verdict

Sprang a 50-1 shock under Jason Watson at Haydock (6f, good) in May and showed that was no fluke when second under a penalty over the same C&D (good to soft) last time; speedy sort for whom likely faster conditions here should suit; should be in the mix from her favourable draw.

Plenty of promise when runner-up over 5f on both starts (soft/good); well worth a try at 6f and hails from a stable going well; considered.
