Form & Verdict

4yo who was knocking on the door at Windsor and York before getting back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Newbury (6f, good) last Thursday; takes a big step back up in grade but is only 2lb higher than last time and has claims if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Form & Verdict

Two turf wins as a 2yo; off the mark for the season when making all to land a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Chelmsford (AW) three weeks ago; 6lb rise and widest draw both make things tougher today but that was a comfortable success last time and she went very close over C&D in May; respected.

Form & Verdict

Impressive winner at Kempton (6f, AW) in her debut last July; 0-6 in Group/Listed races since but she now goes handicapping off a reduced mark and could raise her game on this drop back in trip; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict

Dual AW winner who started this season with two creditable frame efforts at Newmarket (6f, good) in April and she wasn't beaten far in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (market springer) last time; still has potential after only seven starts and she looks interesting back up in trip.

Form & Verdict

Front-runner who recorded her third win when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good) on stable debut last month and she found more progress with her close fourth in a Listed race at Ayr (20-1) last time; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap but she could have competition for the lead and is untried at this trip.

Form & Verdict

Returned to form with a bang when making virtually all over 7f here (good to firm) two weeks ago; 3lb rise for that success looks fair but this is a big step back up in grade and her only previous run at this trip was three years ago; others are more persuasive.
