Promise on first two starts over 5f on turf; took a step forward when scoring in ready fashion upped to 6f on the AW at Chelmsford last month; every chance that this even greater stamina test will suit on handicap debut; respected.

Form & Verdict

Justified favouritism in a 6f maiden at Pontefract (good to firm) but was out of her depth in the Albany Stakes at Ascot last time; back in calmer waters here on handicap debut; mixed messages in her pedigree with regard to this longer trip but the way she finished her race when successful suggests it should suit.

Form & Verdict

No wins in six starts, including one over 5f here, but has run well over 7f on last two outings; makes handicap debut off a feasible mark but is more exposed than most of her rivals and one or two of them may have greater scope for improvement.

Form & Verdict

Couple of ordinary runs after winning a 5f good ground Ripon maiden in April but latest fifth of 12 in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, good) reads well now she tackles handicap company for the first time; doesn't seem to be crying out for this longer trip but pedigree offers hope she will stay.

Form & Verdict

Six-race maiden who has some fair placed form to his name; had every chance when close third upped to 7f on AW debut last time; makes handicap bow off a realistic mark but probable that first-time visor will need to eke out some improvement if he is to win this.
