Form & Verdict
Tapped back into the promise of her debut run in April to make all in Chepstow maiden (1m, good) last month; her pedigree provides optimism she'll be capable of better still and her top Newmarket trainer has an excellent 30% strike-rate here; major player on handicap debut.

Two handicap wins last year; took a big step forward from this year's seasonal return when running a corker for close third in the Kensington Palace over C&D (tongue tied) in June; never really got going when beaten 15l in German Listed race (favourite) four weeks ago but she's a player back over this C&D.

Largely progressed well in 2025 (a three-time winner at 1m-1m1f) but nowhere near her best when remote third in 1m1f Hamilton handicap on reappearance and the yard's main riders look elsewhere; tongue tied first time.

Progressed well in 2025 (a three-time winner around 1m) until hooded and only 13th in Saint-Cloud Listed event (1m) on her final run in November; headgear is quickly dispensed with and she appeals as the sort to do well again in 2026.

3 yo Filly

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Won her first five handicaps (8.6f-1m2f, including on good/firm) before close third of four here (1m3f, good) when outstayed; below par at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last month but that was her first run on slow ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now back on better ground.

Got on a roll at the start of last summer, with the final leg of a five-timer coming over C&D (good); hasn't found the same form this year, though, and remains 3lb above the mark she defied here.

Completed a five-timer at Haydock last summer; still 5lb above her last winning mark and continues to look in the handicapper's grip.

Form & Verdict
7f 2yo winner who returned to form when third of six at Chester (1m2f) this June; however, down the field the next twice and she's back to having something to prove; first-time blinkers replace a visor.

Built on earlier promise (in a change of headgear) when cosily landing 1m3f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly.

Form at Southwell features two wins (1m3f/1m4f) during the winter and third-place finishes in last two outings; receives weight all round and holds a solid chance kept to this track.

Dual course winner in cheekpieces during the winter (1m3f/1m4f) and kept on well for third behind Velvet Red over C&D ten days ago; recent 2lb drop helps; can make presence felt again, assuming switch to refitted visor doesn't backfire.
