Form & Verdict
Gained six of her nine wins here; close third off today's mark over C&D (good) last month and also ran well over 5f a few days later; below that form twice since (5.7f/5f) but it won't be a surprise if she rebounds.

Connies Rose

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Grace Harris

Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Grace Harris

Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Grace Harris

Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade.

Form & Verdict
Did pretty well last year (two wins) and returned with two good efforts this spring, latterly when fourth of 12 on turf return at Windsor (6f, good to firm); may yet have a bigger run in her; must be considered.

Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more.

Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best.

Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course.

Well down the field on first two starts this year but kept on well for third at Bath (5.7f firm) last month; might have gone close there had a gap opened at the right time and this C&D also suits him; shortlisted.

Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove.

Both wins have come on soft ground and latest was at Chepstow (5f) last month; three creditable efforts since then and was only beaten 2l over C&D (heavy) last time, when the blindfold was removed late; looks interesting on this drop back in grade and a bold show is expected.
