Being nicely weighted and still unexposed on turf, MARIS ANGEL (nap) looks particularly interesting returned to this sphere. Miss Brazen (second choice) has clear possibilities if aided by the tongue-tie, while Keldeo, Fierce and Opal Storm are likely players on recent form.[Steve Boow]

Record is 4-18, the most recent success at Pontefract (5f) last month; close fourth off this mark in higher grade over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago, showing that she's still in form; drawn widest but otherwise holds strong claims.
Completed a 5f double last summer (maiden previously); inconsistent results since but is capable of being involved; runner-up off this mark at Thirsk (6f) on penultimate start.
Dual sprint winner (AW/turf) for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts this season for new stable, keeping-on fourth in higher grade over C&D (good) latest; enters the reckoning.
Belatedly regained the winning thread in March (5f, AW); has failed to repeat that form in two subsequent starts, looking less than straightforward returned to turf latest; others preferred.
Losing spell goes back to her C&D success (off 7lb higher) two years ago, but she's attractively handicapped and has possibilities returned to this venue on seasonal debut; close third in most recent Beverley attempt; tongue-tie applied.
Stagnated on AW in autumn/winter and now returns from four-month break; two attempts on turf have resulted in a success and close second, both over 5f at Redcar; still unexposed in this sphere and looks interesting off a workable mark.
Never landed a blow at Pontefract (race won by Keldeo) on reappearance, extending a losing run that goes back to 2023; certainly holds a good chance off current mark on best form, which includes a C&D win.
Record of 1-11 for Clive Cox, the win over 6f on AW; sold for 16,000gns since last run but owner retains a share; given that he lacks recent match practice and drops to new trip, the market may prove best guide.
Gradually back to form this season, close second at Doncaster (5f) most recently; built up a consistent record (44214) in C&D events last term, the success in August; receives weight all round and has solid claims.
