Form & Verdict
Mixed messages from the form of her debut win at Ascot 12 months ago (5f, good); only run out of the places late on in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot when last seen 339 days ago; unexposed but couldn't say she was obviously ahead of her opening mark.

Made a winning debut at Ascot (5f, good) last May and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; returned after a lengthy absence this season but she's been well held in handicaps at Goodwood (5f, good) and Kempton (6f, AW); still unexposed and now drops back in trip but she has some questions to answer.

Made a winning debut at Ascot last May (5f, good) and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; absent for 11 months prior to a never-dangerous seventh at Goodwood 18 days ago; dropped 2lb but she needs improvement for the step up to 6f.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability as a 2yo but she's an improved model in 2025, making all at Wolverhampton on her reappearance in April and then going close off an 11lb higher mark at Chester 17 days ago (both 5f); another 3lb higher today but she's on the up and her speed will remain a big asset at sharp tracks.

Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip.

Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces.

On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question.

Form & Verdict
She had threatened better prior to getting off the mark at Thirsk last summer (5f, good; made all); game effort when defying a penalty at Southwell three weeks later; hit with a 5lb rise for that and, with other pace to contend with, she looks vulnerable on her return from nine months off.

Ended 2yo campaign with two 5f wins and returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May (5f, good); excuses in the 3yo Dash at Epsom when last seen 12 weeks ago; starts out for her new, in-form stable (same ownership) at a realistic level but she will need some luck in running from stall 1.

Form & Verdict
Looked a real handful when tailed off on his first two starts but he's been transformed by a gelding operation and showed useful form in winning twice on Tapeta in December; unable to give his running at Sandown last month having seen no daylight and then he was pitched in too deep at York last week; this is more realistic and he appeals as being capable of better granted a suitable set up; lively outsider.

One turf win from 15 attempts, in a four-runner race at Chepstow (5f) last July; two fair C&D runs since returned to turf in May and was out on a limb when finishing sixth to Another Abbot and Sudden Flight 14 days ago; however, he'll do well to win at this level off his current mark.

Form & Verdict
Her two standout efforts last season came at Bath, notably when finishing with a real flourish to land a 5f nursery (good) when last seen in September; that form looks solid and a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her this year; the suitability of this sharper track has to be taken on trust but there could be a lot of pace on and she's more interesting than many.
