Course winner; off the mark for the year when winning a 1m handicap at Sandown in May; better form in defeat in four runs since; conditions should be fine but there doesn't appear to be much wiggle room in his current mark.

Campaigned mostly at shorter but appears to stay 1m2f; better than ever this term; has continued to perform well since spring success and was an unlucky third at Salisbury most recently (would likely have won but for traffic issues); major contender.

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Richard Hannon

Has not had much racing for his age and never better than this summer, producing another career best when runner-up at Goodwood (about 1m1f, good), going down narrowly to one who was ahead of his mark, both suffering interference; up 2lb; solid form chance back at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Quirky filly who has a slight doubt over current form but is fairly useful on her day and registered a Newmarket success the last time Oisin Murphy was on board; both wins over 7f but appears to stay 1m.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Two wins for Robert Eddery came over a stiff, undulating 7f, so has that in her favour; lacked consistency for new yard, below par in first-time cheekpieces latest (headgear now off, tongue-tie on), but could easily bounce back.

Lightly raced 4yo; posted two duck eggs in UAE this year but has largely progressive form on British soil; ran well in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (good to firm) most recently; respected in the retained headgear.

Sole win from 19 starts came in a Salisbury maiden on his second start in 2023; has posted a couple of good efforts for this stable, including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time hood) in February; cheekpieces are quickly discarded after a poor run here over 1m3f latest.

Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year.

Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time.
