Form & Verdict
Had a few unsuccessful goes in 1m2f handicaps for Sir Michael Stoute but has mostly raced over further for this yard, without notable success despite a gentle decline in his mark; needs more for the return to this trip on turf for the first time in nearly a year.

1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback.

Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in).

Form & Verdict
Shaped nicely in maidens at Newmarket (7f) and Goodwood (1m) as a 2yo and the return to the former trip counted against him on reappearance at Wolverhampton (AW) in April; good chance he'll improve for the new trip now handicapping in an ordinary race for the grade.

Shaped well when placed in a pair of 1m2f Salisbury handicaps last summer; off eight months but this low-mileage son of New Approach should have more to offer in 2026, especially over 1m4f; interesting.

Didn't look that well treated for his handicap debut over C&D 19 days ago (went off 9-2) and was no match for the winner in a six-runner race; down only 1lb.

Form & Verdict
All three wins at about 1m2f on AW in 2024; 0-14 on turf but he stuck to his guns when fifth of nine at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) this month and there's still time for him to improve on turf; can figure.

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender.

Two wins at 1m2f (good to firm and good to soft) in May and has held his form since; no real sign that he's ahead of his mark but this should take less winning than at Newmarket last week.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner in 2023 on sole course start; has her good and ordinary days, once refusing to race, but first-time cheekpieces seemed to spur her on when a wide-margin winner at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; back up 7lb but still well treated on past exploits.

Not at best on the Flat this year but won off much reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; RPR 80) in July; goes without headgear on this hurdling debut but has the raw ability to pose a threat if she takes to this game.

Two wins over 1m2f at Salisbury (good to firm) this season but she flopped in her bid for a double there (last of six) last month; still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form but she needs to bounce back on this return to 1m.

Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in May, opening her account at the ninth attempt; below that form when only third of four here (1m4f, good to firm) last time but could be dangerous on this return to 1m2f if able to dominate.
