She won three times under Jake Dickson last August/September (1m2f, good to firm-good to soft) and may have needed her comeback run at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 12 days ago; however, she was well beaten and a swift and major turnaround is necessary.

Won three times over 1m2f under 7lb claimer Jake Dickson last August/September; progressive overall in that campaign and needs respect if she's sufficiently tuned up for this reappearance; market may guide.

Form & Verdict
Has been up and down in his seven starts but he won at Bath (1m, good) in June and was a good front-running fourth behind the progressive Coeur Jaune (runs in 3.40) here last time; now steps up to 1m2f but he has some stamina on dam's side and could have a big part to play.

J: Billy Loughnane

Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature.

Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more.

Form & Verdict
In a new tongue-tie when edging home over Nottingham's extended 1m and then runner-up over 1m2f at Yarmouth (good to firm); that form puts him in the picture but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and needs to get back near best; cheekpieces added.

Record is only 1-16 but he's attractively treated, having gained the success (1m, good) off 2lb higher; tally could be doubled if he takes well to first-time visor with Bath reappearance under his belt.

J: Mr Henry Callan

T: Faye Bramley

The winner of one of his 15 starts, namely an 8.3f handicap at Nottingham last June (tongue tied first time); 2lb lower today after a quiet end to 2025; goes without any accessories this time but he ran well on his reappearance last spring and Henry Callan is a positive booking.

Form & Verdict
Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta) last summer for Phillip Makin, but he's found it tough going in handicaps since; dropped another 4lb but record is 1-10 and he needs a transformation in new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been at around 7f but she ran well for a long way on the step up to 1m3f at Southwell (third of eight) last month; 1lb lower on this return to turf and it wouldn't be a surprise if she made a bold bid back in trip.

J: Jack Gilligan

Nicely treated on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston (consistency was an issue) but didn't shine in subsequent short spells with Alice Haynes and Lemos De Souza; never figured when ninth at Lingfield (1m, AW; stays further) on her debut for this yard last month.

Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Charlie Johnston but finished down the field on last three outings, once for Alice Haynes and twice for Lemos De Souza; now with another new stable; too risky.
