Form & Verdict
Consistent in four races to date; didn't have much chance in the Albany at Royal Ascot (50-1) but she readily landed the odds in a five-runner C&D novice (good to firm) on her next outing; in good hands and a leading contender on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Bred to be quick and he has shown plenty of speed in three races, weakening over 5.5f at Ayr on latest; previous C&D second puts him firmly in the picture and he's another with a serious chance now tackling handicaps.

J: Connor Beasley

A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of 5f winners in his pedigree and he added one himself when scoring at Catterick (good to firm) in July; didn't repeat the form at Musselburgh next time, however, and he may need a personal best to make a winning handicap debut.

Beaten on his last 20 starts going back to June 2023 but he's shown promise in fifth this spring on his first two starts for this yard, most recently behind a couple of these in a big field at York (6f, good); he continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away.
