Form & Verdict
Won last two in 2023; not much promise on his first start for 478 days when last at Southwell in January but his next outing, after a further 195-day break, looked a run to build on when fifth of eight at Haydock in July; tailed off in the Old Borough Cup back there (also 1m6f, good) 12 days ago, though; this is considerably easier but needs to prove he's retained ability.

Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair.

Form & Verdict
Steady improvement in handicaps since June and she won a four-runner Ripon handicap (1m4f, good) in July; 4lb higher but was beaten only a head at Windsor (11.5f, heavy) 17 days ago; up another 2lb but her gradual progression is appealing.

A mild improver since handicapping, beating two subsequent dual winners at Ripon (1m4f, good) in July, and she finished well clear with the winner at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) last month; likely to be close up.

Record of 421 since handicapping includes a solid effort over C&D (good to firm); Ripon win (1m4f, good) has been boosted by the runner-up since; respected with further improvement plausible.

Form & Verdict
Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected.

Form & Verdict
Made the breakthrough with a pretty convincing success at Salisbury in July before following up off 4lb higher at Leicester a fortnight later; couldn't complete the hat-trick at Beverley (also 1m4f, good to firm) 25 days ago but her dam and best sibling landed all but one of their combined nine wins in headgear and she's respected in first-time cheekpieces.

Well beaten over inadequate 1m on comeback last year but she came into her own when upped to 1m4f in the summer, winning back-to-back turf races; had seemed rather becalmed after but she won nicely over C&D when last seen in December; should be further openings for her off 2lb higher.

Consistent since returning to turf in May including wins at Salisbury and Leicester (both 1m4f, good to firm), but does handle soft ground; ran well when second of 13 at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and although further may suit her best, this should be truly run; high on list.

Progressive as a 3yo, winning at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) and Leicester (1m4f, good); below par on her final start in 2025 but she reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries; still has low mileage; market useful with the stable also running Myrrh.
