Comment: Inconsistent nine-race maiden but she went very close in a Lingfield novice (7.6f, good) in June and wasn't far off that level when third in a Chester maiden (7f, good) last time; sets a fair standard on her best form and she's a big player in this weak race; tongue-tie added.

Comment: Some creditable efforts in handicaps this summer, including a front-running third at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last month and a fourth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on Monday; should run her race again but she's now 0-7 and has something to find back in maiden.

Comment: Promising second on Lingfield debut (1m, good) in January but disappointing at Chelmsford (hung right) eight days later and same story on Redcar reappearance (7f, good to soft) last month; bit to prove but she may have needed that last run and she still has potential for top yard; not ruled out back up in trip.

Comment: By Australia and half-brother to a 1m4f Listed winner; little to show for five qualifying runs last season but he kicked off his handicap career with a much improved second here (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) in June; couldn't justify 5-4 favouritism in that race but he was clear of the third and is open to more progress over this longer trip; key player with cheekpieces added.

Comment: Faded into seventh of 13 when favourite at Windsor (11.4f, good) last time but he battled well when scoring over C&D (firm) on his penultimate run; only 2lb higher than for that success and has possibilities if he can recapture that form.

Comment: All three of his Flat wins have been on AW but he didn't get much luck before going close over C&D (firm) two weeks ago; that was a big run after a break and he's an interesting contender off only 1lb higher.

Comment: Won over 2m at Chepstow (good to firm) last month and he backed that up with a creditable second under penalty at Ffos Las (1m6f, good); 2lb lower here but this is a deeper race than last time and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; mixed messages.
