Modest form at best in a handful of starts for Archie Watson. Showed nothing sent hurdling by current yard last December. Bit to prove returning to the Flat following 8 months off.

Attracted support and duly improved when 1½ lengths second of 9 on handicap debut over C&D (soft) in early-June. Nudged up a couple of pounds but she's still relatively unexposed. Player if returning in similar heart following 12 weeks off.

Both career wins have come at Ffos Las on soft ground, latterly in a 1½m classified event in June. Beaten 3¼ lengths in a handicap there last time, however, forecast rain could be a catalyst for a better effort here.

Dual 2m all-weather winner in 2024. Back on track when 3½ lengths third of 9 over C&D (soft) on return in June. Her stamina could bring her into the mix if the ground becomes testing.

Split a couple of next-time-out winners when third at Leicester (1¼m, good) in June. Too free in first-time visor on first crack over this trip at Lingfield (13/8 favourite) latest. May be capable of better off this sort of mark, provided he settles better with hood/blinkers refitted.

Third at Lingfield in May (race produced 5 next-time-out winners). Capitalised on the drop into selling company when a decisive all-the-way winner at Beverley (1½m, good) last time. Could make a bold bid to follow up back in a handicap, provided she handles what will likely be contrasting ground.

Recorded back-to-back wins at Brighton and Doncaster last summer. Has lost her form following a fairly promising start to this season, though is at least proven on soft ground.

Produced her best effort upped to 1¼m when third at this course in May. Only bettered by a fellow 3-y-o who made all under Brighton subsequently and was poorly placed on first crack over 1½m here last time. She's relatively unexposed for a race of this nature and may get off the mark.
