She made a winning debut at Newcastle in May (1m2f) and after three lesser efforts she returned to that level when circling the field to win a 0-70 fillies' handicap over C&D four weeks ago; that race has thrown up a few subsequent winners and she's still not fully exposed on AW.

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Launched her career with a Newcastle novice win (1m2f, AW) in May but disappointing three times since, tailed off in handicap at Newmarket last time; could be revived by a two-month break but hard to be confident. |

9st 7lb |
Launched career with Newcastle novice win (1m2f, AW) in May but disappointing twice since, more recently when beaten 19l on handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (1m4f, soft); leap of faith required to support her here. |

Several good runs in defeat this season without looking ahead of his mark; fair fifth behind Expert Witness at Lingfield in September (poorly positioned when a well-backed favourite) but more will be needed to come out on top.

Quite well handicapped on some of his placed form in ths spring (1m3f-1m6f) but was just a respectable fourth of seven when dropped back to 1m2f at Epsom last month and has a modest 1-20 strike-rate; others preferred. |

OR: 74
Four AW wins at other tracks but she has run well over C&D in the past; not at her best on her last four starts but this is a drop in grade and a revival wouldn't be a huge surprise.

17th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Five wins last year included two over C&D and there was encouragement to be had from her latest third of six at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); has dropped 6lb below her last winning mark and a major player. |

Yet to get her head in front in 2023 but she arrives in decent nick, fifth of nine at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 17 days ago; possibilities. |

Well positioned when winning a slowly run race that developed into a sprint at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in September; no match for Bold Ribb back at Lingfield on Friday; vulnerable.

4th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
The race went her way when winning on Lingfield AW in September; never threatened over that C&D after and she wasn't about to pounce when hampered at Chelmsford since (beaten over 6l); work to do on Tapeta debut. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Has improved a bit since stepped up to 1m2f and she gained a breakthrough success over C&D four weeks ago, always up with the pace under George Rooke; up only 2lb and likely to be in the thick of things again. |

Three of his four wins have come over C&D but all in Class 6 company; not beaten far into fourth in a Class 4 here when last seen in July; career best required in this field.

22nd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

In good form in the spring, winning twice over 1m2f at Chelmsford; perhaps needed this month's return to action but he does have something to prove over today's trip. |

25th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has three wins and three seconds to his name from eight runs over C&D; is well drawn for one happiest up front but he's not improving at his age and is 6lb above his last successful mark. |

7f novice winner for Ed Walker but he struggled in three handicaps for that yard and he's finished down the field at big prices in two runs for current stable; steps back up in trip but with too much to prove.
