Unexposed 4yo who is out of a 1m2f Listed winner; solid record in first four starts but she raised her game after a break when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (1m, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but she kept on well for that comfortable success and is open to more progress over this longer trip; big player.

Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.

Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off.

Ten-time turf winner who is well treated on her best form last year, but she's been quiet in three runs this season and latest was over C&D (well-held sixth) last Saturday; one of two runners for yard and she needs to raise her game.

Couple of duck eggs this term leave a doubt over her current form; however, gained one of her five wins in 2025 over this C&D and she holds a good chance off current mark provided a resurgence materialises; runner-up in this race 12 months ago.
