Roaring Home (M)
FAV
Yet to add to last October's Exeter maiden hurdle success, but her turn is seemingly near judged on efforts at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) and Warwick (21f, good) since returning from a break in October. Promises to stay this trip and she'…

Leave Her To Me (M)
Back-to-back winner at up to 21f during the spring, but mark suffered as a result of that brace and she failed to land a blow on recent return from a break at Hereford.

Either Or (M)
[T1]
Has failed to go on over hurdles since making a winning debut at Warwick in January. Interesting that top yard is persevering, but it's debatable whether that will be the case for much longer judged on poor chase debut display at Warwick l…

Police Academy (M)
[P1]
First past the post in a mares' handicap chase at Uttoxeter in June (subsequently disqualified owing to a prohibited substance). Blotted copybook twice since, but she's 3-12 in this sphere and perhaps the return to hurdles and fitting of c…

Pipers Cross (M)
[P]
Dual winner in the spring of 2024 for Robbie Llewellyn and got the done at the fifth attempt for present yard at Fontwell in March. Should come on for her reappearance fifth at Lingfield and she's a live each-way candidate off this 1 lb lo…

For Gina (M)
[P]
Fair hurdler with a good record at Fakenham. Took a shine to Fontwell, too, when returning to form in a 7-runner handicap there (25.8f, good to soft) last month and, still on a good mark following a 3 lb rise, she has to enter calculations.

Topkapi Star (M)
[PT1]
Now 1 lb lower in the weights compared to when gaining latest success at Ayr with first-time cheekpieces enlisted in January. However, the headgear hasn't proved quite so effective since and hopes now pinned on the addition of a tongue str…

No worthwhile form to her name so far and another struggle is on the cards from a long way out of the weights.
