Form & Verdict
Progressive in three outings last year, winning over 1m (AW/good to firm) in her first two before second in 1m2f Salisbury Listed event (good to firm again); lightly raced and from a leading yard, so it's likely she can go on to even better things in 2025; leading claims under William Buick.

Lightly raced filly who graduated from handicaps with a fine second of 12 in a York Listed race (1m2.5f, good, Charlotte's Web third, Molten Rock and Modern Utopia behind) in July; prominent in the market when weakening at that track (good to firm) over 1m4f last month; untested on a soft surface but she's the sort to bounce back at this trip for a yard with a solid record in this race.

Lightly raced 4yo; winning an Ascot handicap (good to firm) in May was her best form and would give her leading claims in this but that was registered over 1m; seventh of 23 in Royal Ascot handicap over that same C&D next time and beaten a neck in 1m2f Listed race here (good; just ahead of Charlotte's Web) on latest outing, but she's not a certainty to get 1m4f.

Form & Verdict
Scored against her own sex at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; hasn't advanced her form since but she has performed with credit this season when fifth in the Newbury Spring Cup and a Listed race back at Goodwood (both 1m, good); this looks a slightly easier assignment.

Talented mare who ran well in Listed and Group events last season and was runner-up in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) on her reappearance last month; should go well again but she has a bit to find on these figures and her last win was in July 2024.

Talented mare although her last win was back in July 2024; started last year's campaign with solid fifth of 14 in Newbury's Spring Cup (good) and ran well on plenty of other occasions, notably when close third in Goodwood Group 2 (also 1m, good to firm) in August; creditable third in C&D Listed event the following month but has career-high mark to contend with on this return.

Handles most ground and she's tactically versatile; has been generally reliable this season and she won in a tight finish at Windsor (1m) in August before a creditable third at York (1m1f) last month; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

It was a deep handicap she contested at Goodwood and in solid form otherwise, winning for a fourth time by a short-head at Windsor 24 days ago (1m, good to firm); clear claims off 2lb higher if in similar form here.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up three times last season, including over C&D, but well held on her 1m2f Newbury reappearance four weeks ago and needs to leave that behind; her peak RPRs have been achieved on slower ground than she's likely to face here.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful form in ten starts for Jim Bolger in Ireland, belatedly getting off the mark in Leopardstown maiden (1m1f, heavy) last autumn; quick ground is an unknown and a watching brief is advised on reappearance for new yard unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Took this off 7lb higher last year; lost her way in the second half of last season but back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark on her 1m Southwell reappearance in March; flopped there next time but fair third of five at Nottingham (extended 1m, good to firm) 11 days ago.
