Consistent performer in lower-graded handicaps but in at the deep end today in a Listed race. Obviously a lot to find on these terms at the weights being rated 67 and taking on 100 rated horses, but is fit and well and is a course winner so hoping she might be able to get by a few in the race if improving a bit.

Charming Lily has shown promise on both her starts at Kempton. Soft ground is an unknown for her but we are hopeful of a nice run from the daughter of Charm Spirit.

First time into a handicap here today after three promising runs. The step back up in trip will suit after running on well the last day over a mile at Lingfield and has also tasted the Kempton track in the past too. Several with similar chances, but we feel she's an improving filly and will have a leading chance here with the expected improvement.

Just the one career win from 14 races, but is a fairly consistent performer. A close third last time out at Wolves and back on the grass is fine. Has been freshened up with 2 1/2 months off and we feel the return to 2m is worth another try. Each-way chance if the ground is soft enough.

5 runs and yet to win a race but has show enough ability to take a race like this. Was a close second last time out at Wolves and with two past runs on the grass the switch to the green stuff is fine. Expected to have a leading e/w chance.

Only third run in a handicap here but will be better for his last run at Nottingham after 2 1/2 months off. We also feel the shorter trip here will help after not quite getting home over 1m 1/2f last time. Better expected and should have decent e/w claims. 

Only career win to date has come on the AW back in Nov 21. Returned last time with a fair 3rd of 8 though at Wolves and has improved for that run coming off 2 1/2 months off. 2lbs lower here and we know she stays further than this 1m2f trip, which we'll try and make use of. Each-way chance.

Back up in trip here today but has run well on only start over this 1m4f distance on the turf. Fair track form here at Wolves too winning here last year and also running well (2nd) last time over 1m 1/2f - staying on well so the extra trip we think will suit. Taking off 5lbs too with Christian's claim, he's ridden the horse before too and so overall we'd like to think we'd have fair e/w chances today.

Hard to not be delighted with her this season - one of the success stories of the year (in my eyes anyway). Has progressed up the ranks when winning her last four and shot up 31lbs from her last run when winning the G2 May Hill at Doncaster. That was her 4th win in a row and is still improving. Up into a Group 1 now seems crazy but deserves to take her chance and with that rise last time is actually the second top-rated in the field now. Commissioning the one to beat, but this filly keep on surprising us, so you never know!

Four career runs to date and glimmers of ability. Back up in trip here today will help, but higher grade here today so more on his plate. Overall needs to improve though to figure today.
