Form & Verdict

Made her breakthrough (eighth attempt) when making all at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) last month but that was a small-field event and she couldn't hang in there off this revised mark at Goodwood (fifth of 12) last time; now drops back in grade but she needs to find something extra.

Form & Verdict

Won a novice at Wetherby (7f, soft) in April before following up on her handicap debut there (1m, good) in June; was strong at the finish for both those wins but she hasn't found a great deal in her last two runs (1m2f/1m); still lightly raced but she needs to rediscover her spark.

The form of her handicap win at Wetherby (1m, good; 5lb lower) has worked out well and 1m2f perhaps stretched her last time; only had four races and can do better again.

Form & Verdict

Made it 2-7 when coming from off the pace to score by almost 4l at Sandown (1m, good to soft) in June; struggled at Glorious Goodwood but she was forced wide and may not have been suited by the fast ground; still has potential as a handicapper and she could kick on again at this new trip.

Second start this term (Yarmouth) was disappointing, but she bounced straight back to score with authority from off the pace in a seven-runner handicap at Sandown (1m, good to soft) six weeks later; up 7lb and perhaps on less testing ground, which might not suit.

Form & Verdict

Five-time Flat winner who handles any ground; made a successful hurdling debut at Wetherby in February and she returned from a break with clear third at Ayr (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; rallied well to finish close up in that Class 4 event and she's respected off unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict

Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles.

Form & Verdict

Three wins this season including at Beverley (7.4f, soft) on her penultimate run, but she was disappointing back there last time; should be fine on this step back up in trip but she needs to bounce back after that laboured effort.

Dual winner in the spring who's run consistently off her revised mark since; is versatile as regards the ground and won't mind the drop back from 8.5f from the inside stall, so should go well once more.
