Verdict
KENMYA's latest Bangor effort suggests it's only matter of time before she's winning for Dan Skelton. Miss Popalong took a step forward when runner-up at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago and may provide the main threat ahead of the Nicholls runner and last year's winner Dancingontheedge.

VerdictFair on Flat in France/Spain (stays 1¼m). Yet to better modest form over hurdles but latest near miss over 19.5f at Bangor suggests she has a race in her from her lowly mark.

VerdictBest effort in handicaps when length second of 7 over 3m at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago, pulling clear of the rest behind a gambled-on winner. Unlikely to be far away if showing up in similar form. - 1. DancingontheedgeJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul NichollsF: 4/512432-4

VerdictSmooth-travelling type who matched the pick of her hurdles form when a promising third on chase debut here last autumn. Folded quite tamely in a 3¼m chase here 7 weeks ago but won this last year and might pack more punch at the finish now.

VerdictPoor maiden but was a back-to-form third in a 26.5f course handicap 3 weeks ago. Just as effective over shorter and place claims if she can back that up.

VerdictReacted well to cheekpieces (retained) when getting off the mark in a small field at Taunton (3m) in March. Let down by her jumping at Ludlow since.

VerdictPlaced in novice hurdles around 2m on good ground in May (including here) but finished a remote third when stepped up to 2½m for Worcester handicap debut on a soft 4 weeks ago. The return to a likely quicker surface here may help.

VerdictA 3-time winner up to 1¼m on Flat for George Boughey in 2024. Some promise in qualifying hurdle runs but made a very low-key start in handicaps this spring and also well beaten back on the Flat at Salisbury last month.
