Form & Verdict
Nine of her 11 runs have been on AW but she won a Catterick novice (6f, soft) last autumn and was close fourth in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good to soft) on her penultimate run; well-held third at Wolverhampton ten days ago but that was behind a major improver and she's respected back in this sphere.

Won twice last autumn and latest was over C&D; 0-10 since that last success but she's been placed twice over C&D and didn't get any luck when favourite here (fifth of nine) last Monday; could be a big factor if she gets the breaks this time and she's in the mix off a dangerous mark; blinkers removed.

Defied this mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) last summer but has mixed record in five runs for current yard and was out the back at Doncaster (7f, good) last month; has something to prove and he's untried as a sprinter.

Well handicapped on old form but last win was in May 2023 and he's finished down the field in three runs this season; visor now returns and he needs to raise his game.

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed colt who won a Newcastle novice (6f, AW) in November and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month; nudged up 2lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and is open to more progress back on turf; interesting contender.

Record of 3-5 on AW includes two stylish wins over 7f at Southwell for new yard; unfavourable draw played a part in him failing to transfer the form back to turf in the Victoria Cup when admittedly taking record in this sphere to 0-6.

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade.

Unraced on soft/heavy; scored four times on turf last term and may resume his progress with creditable AW reappearance under his belt; combined record of 3-4 at Epsom and Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite similar to those tracks; highly respected.
