5 tips

3/1

Comment: Off the mark at the 16th attempt when readily seeing off nine rivals in classified event at Wolverhampton (5f) and ran just as well when second in similar contest at Thirsk (6f, good); should be in the thick of things again.

9/2

Comment: Unexposed after just four runs; looked green as a 2yo and appeared a much improved model when third of eight over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, fading after eight months off; the hood (omitted on return) goes back on today; in good hands and has far more potential than most of today's rivals.

Comment: Dual C&D winner and ran well when second of eight here 18 days ago with three of today's rivals behind; arguably the pick of four for Linda Perratt.

Comment: Dual C&D winner, and shaped better than the bare result (slowly away and short of room) when fourth here 18 days ago; below her last winning mark and should be thereabouts if getting the breaks.

7/1

Comment: Arrives in reasonable form with a win and a fifth over 5f at Newcastle on her last two outings; unplaced all seven turf starts but she does handle grass; not ruled out.

12/1

Comment: 12-race maiden who has each-way claims on his third of six at Thirsk (5f, good) in July but was well below par at Newcastle the following week; perhaps he's better on turf than AW but he needs to bounce back.
