Has had a tremendous year and she added to earlier wins, including a C&D classified and a Wolverhampton handicap, when scuttling well clear at Chepstow (6f) last week; likely due a bigger rise than today's 5lb penalty; every chance.

Three wins this year, the latest over C&D (good to soft) in June; below form after racing too freely at Bath last time, though, and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark.

C&D winner in 2022 but her four wins since have come over 7f; has not found it easy this year and no sign of her taking advantage of a lowly mark over 6f or 7f in August (her second at Salisbury was a remote one).

Still a maiden (0-22), but did well to finish so close to a nicely handicapped rival at Catterick (6f, good to firm; bit slipped and was difficult to steer) last week; is due a 2lb rise, so it'll come as no surprise if he's firmly on the premises.

Turf winner who is 0-12 on AW but his best form has come in this sphere and he ran well to finish third at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) when last seen in February; should get a decent pace on this drop back in trip and he needs a close look on return.
