Comment: Frankel filly out of a 7f winner (including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 113); held in third when 4-7 at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) last month but she looked inexperienced and that was behind a useful stablemate who was second-favourite; sets a clear standard on that form and she should know much more this time; strong contender.

Comment: Second foal; dam 1m3f AW winner (only start; RPR 69), out of 1m winning half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 3 winner/Oaks third Summitville, useful 1m2f-1m4f winner Bashkirov and useful 7.5f-1m2f winner Wordly Wise; yard 10% with 2yos this season and market should guide on debut.

15/2

Comment: Second foal; dam unraced sister to winners Skiffle (1m2f Listed) and Danilova (7f 2yo/1m), half-sister to winners Golden Town (useful 7f 2yo/1m) and Wizara (1m3f-1m5f), out of French 1m4f Listed winner; plenty to like on paper and she's an interesting newcomer.

Elizabetty

Jockey: Ben Robinson Trainer: Brian Ellison Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 55

Comment: Had some traffic issues when an eyecatcher on Newcastle debut (6f, AW) in June but she finished a well-held fifth again when upped to 7f there last month; still early days but has quite a lot to find on the figures and nurseries will more suitable.

Comment: Triple C&D winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; reappeared with a close second here (7f, good to soft) last month but he's not threatened in two subsequent runs; any rain would help his cause but he needs to rediscover his spark.

Comment: Dual nursery winner who rather struggled for Craig Lidster last year; well backed ahead of his AW comeback for new yard off 2lb lower, when making most of the running before not looking to see out 7.2f, and is a player back from eight weeks off.

Comment: Wins have all come in the summer but he's gone backwards from his comeback near-miss off today's mark and isn't as good or consistent as he was; others appeal more.

Comment: Picked up for 30,000gns after winning an AW nursery at a short price off this mark for Ed Walker last October; poor for his new yard this time, again hanging left on his first run since wind surgery in May, and risks involved going without the hood again.

Comment: Only gone beyond 5f on four occasions and has run poorly each time (had her moments at the stalls and can pull hard); said to have run flat when a well-beaten favourite here a fortnight ago.

Comment: Nine-time Newcastle winner whose good record under Paul Mulrennan was tarnished when finishing last of seven over 5f here on Saturday; that made it 0-35 on turf and he'll need to do much better.

Comment: On long losing run and has mixed record this season but she went close over C&D last month and was a creditable third here (1m2f, good) on Saturday; has claims if she can back that up and she's in the mix.

Comment: Off the mark (ninth attempt) when scoring over C&D last month and he followed up under a penalty at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last Saturday; up another 3lb but he knuckled down well last time and is open to more improvement; key player for yard that won this in 2022 and 2023.

Comment: Well handicapped on her Carlisle win (1m1f, soft) last August but she's been well held in all seven subsequent runs; now drops into a Class 6 and any rain would help her cause but she needs to get back on track.

Comment: Ordinary strike-rate of 3-34 but her last win was a smooth success over C&D (good to soft) last month and she backed that up with a good third under a penalty here (1m2f, good) here two weeks ago; should get a decent tow into this race and she's on the shortlist.

Comment: Ended a long losing run when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good) in May for Mick Appleby; runner-up behind the progressive Jannas Journey (runs in 3:00) here in both runs for current yard and he was strong at the finish over 1m last time; only 1lb higher and he's an interesting contender at this new trip.
