Verdict
The vote goes to A LADY FOREVER, who was caught wide tried in cheekpieces at Wolverhampton recently and is better judged on back-to-back second-place finishes at this course prior to that. A reproduction of form akin to those efforts would give her more than a fighting chance. Run This Way needs to bounce back, but she continues to slide down the weights and is dangerous to discount, while Mister Sky Blue and consistent maiden Yorkshire Glory should both be on the premises, too.

VerdictThirteen runs since last win in 2024. 25/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Visor refitted here in place of the cheekpieces she sported last time and this 7-y-o will be a serious player off this career-low mark if on-song.

VerdictC&D winner. Latest win here in November. 11/8, tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and claims if back to his best, but his record is a little too patchy for comfort.

VerdictTwenty-six runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/4) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and wouldn't be without a chance off this attractive mark if he were to put his best foot forward.- 8. A Lady ForeverJ: Rowan ScottT: Gary HarrisonF: 34373229

VerdictC&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/1) 8 days ago. Caught wide on that occasion and better judged on solid C&D second on penultimate start.

Verdict9/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. 0-15 record tempers enthusiasm somewhat, but he's been knocking on the door and should be in the mix.

VerdictUnreliable type. One win from 23 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. 25/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

VerdictRemains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Good fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 19 days ago. Should run her race once more, but chances are one or two will again prove too strong when it comes to the crunch.
