Comment: Coaxed back to form by new trainer, winning over C&D in May and following up at Lingfield the following week; came up shy in her hat-trick bid at Thirsk last month before looking stretched by 6f here 24 days ago; probably no more than averagely treated now but she's still a key player back at 5f.

Comment: Six-race maiden who struggled on turf debut over C&D in May but he bounced back with a close second at Ffos Las (1m2f) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's been a bit up and down so far and that last run was on good to soft; mixed messages.

Comment: 0-9 but he's been placed in three of his five starts for current yard including when a close third at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in May; couldn't hang in there at Ffos Las last time but 1m4f on slow ground may have stretched him and he's not ruled out back in trip.

Comment: Seven-race maiden but the switch to front-running tactics nearly paid off in a Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that near-miss and he's a big player if he can back that up.

Comment: Has a patchy profile but he won at Yarmouth (1m, good) in April and got back near that level when a close second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; this is tougher off 2lb higher but he has shaped as though this new trip could suit and his win came under Taryn Langley; dangerous.

Comment: Her last win was in 2023 but that was off 18lb higher and she was a good second behind a progressive 3yo at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; looks interesting on that form and her only previous run at Chepstow resulted in a comfortable win.

Comment: Very lightly raced 5yo who won in good style on her handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) last October; left Henrietta Knight since and now returns for new yard, but a 5lb rise for that success looks fair and she still has potential; needs a close look in market.

Comment: Has a patchy record but he defied this mark at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last summer and was a respectable second behind an improver at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month; wasn't far off his best last time and has claims if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Comment: Well handicapped on her best form and wasn't beaten far when fifth of six on reappearance at Brighton (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be sharper this time but she's still a maiden after 15 starts and has stamina to prove at this new trip.

Comment: Turf/sand winner (1m/1m1f) on the Flat in Germany but he's struggled in five runs for new yard this year, with first three runs over hurdles and last two on AW at Wolverhampton; still relatively lightly raced but he needs a major revival back on turf.

Comment: No impact in his first three runs this season but he ran respectably in a Class 5 at Newbury three weeks ago; this is more suitable on this drop back in grade and he's won this race off higher marks in the last two years; entered 8.30 Ffos Las on Wednesday.

Comment: Eight-race maiden but he was a promising third at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May and wasn't beaten far after a slow start there last month; now takes another drop back in trip but he's unexposed on turf and has possibilities if he gets a good tow into the race.
