Form & Verdict
Has done well since stepping up to staying trips on Tapeta, winning here (1m6f) in July and at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 13 days ago; not at her best when behind Sax Appeal and Zealandia at the latter track in between, but she remains open to further progress as a 3yo; respected.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Notched back-to-back 2m wins at Newcastle (Class 5) and here (Class 4) last September; unable to justify strong market support - weakened from the furlong pole - on return from a four-month absence at Newcastle (2m; 7-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; may strip fitter and has a stamina-packed pedigree.

Progressive; made the breakthrough at Southwell (1m6f) in July; saw off Weddell Sea to win over C&D (by just over 4l) in September, before edging out Sax Appeal at Southwell (2m, Class 4) a fortnight later; this mark (2lb higher) is far from punitive if she is ready to roll off a 151-day break.

Form & Verdict
7-22 on the AW; very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) on Monday; has won twice over shorter trips around here and would be a danger to all if enjoying another uncontested lead under his penalty.

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings were on last two outings but his turf form still needs improvement.

Something amiss on sole start here (2024); very busy since and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW (which has dominated career) and his turf form needs improvement.

T: Charlie Johnston

Prominent racer who posted four wins in the second half of last year, including a C&D defeat of Charging Thunder on good; suffered a heavy defeat on AW last time but it was in a strong Good Friday race at Newcastle and Charging Thunder was once again behind him; a bold show seems likely in these much calmer waters back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Two wins on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f/2m) last October and has won twice over 2m on turf this year; on a fair mark, but others are still more compelling.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024.

Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal.

Form & Verdict
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann.

T: Ian Williams

Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in.

Has got himself well handicapped for good reason and his recent thirds were none too threatening; doubts remain; another tweak on the headgear front.
