Form & Verdict
Won at Haydock in April and shaped okay when she didn't get the run of the race at Ripon on Saturday, both 1m2f; not often seen beyond that but best effort last term came when comfortably winning a 16-runner race over 11.4f on soft at Yarmouth; interesting.

J: Liam Wright

T: George Scott

Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict.

1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player.

Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f).

Third on debut in a 1m maiden in October 2023 but well beaten in the mud in his next two races and left Jim Bolger last July for 4,000gns; always behind on stable/handicap debut (1m2f; 14-1) eight weeks ago and best watched for now.

Form & Verdict
Held up this season, winning a novice at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May and eight-runner handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 13 days ago; attempted to bite a rival when staying-on third in between; gradually worked her way to the front late on to score by a neck at Epsom, despite hanging left, and has more to offer at 1m4f+.

Held up this season, winning four of those five starts; that includes 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (good), Catterick (soft) and Thirsk (good) on last three outings, well on top when forging clear on the last two occasions and she's well treated under a penalty for scoring last Saturday.

Held up this season, winning a 1m2f novice at Bath (firm) in May and 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (good) and Catterick (soft) in July; up another 8lb but she stayed on strongly to forge clear last time and is open to more progress; strong contender in hat-trick bid.

Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good.

No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine.

Form & Verdict
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace.

Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded.
