5/6

Comment: Prescott filly who made a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month; stayed on for second back there on Saturday in a style which suggests the slightly longer trip this evening will play to her strengths; leading claims for last year's winning yard.

Comment: Lightly raced 3yo who made a positive start to her handicap career with a hood added (retained) when second at Newmarket (1m2f) 19 days ago; the slightly longer trip is a possible help now tackling AW for the first time; likely to go well.

Comment: Three-time winner, most recently over 9.4f at Wolverhampton early in 2024, but has very weak form claims on what he's shown this year.
