Won 6f handicaps at Hamilton (soft; 25-1) and Newcastle (AW; 66-1) for Alan Brown in the latter part of 2025; short of that level in two runs for new stable; cheekpieces return having been left off over 7f last week.

A dual 6f scorer in 2025 for Alan Brown but yet to fire this term, only fifth of eight in 6f classified event here on her yard debut in March; lots more required after a break.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten at Catterick last time but that was over 7f and she was in pretty good heart over sprint distances last month; went close on soft ground last October and she's one to consider now back down in trip.

A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for.

Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on first two starts this season; not at the same level on last few runs in June/July but he often runs well after a break and he's a two-time C&D winner; effective on soft ground and could be in the mix.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Iain Jardine

Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now.

Arrives in the form of his life, completing a turf hat-trick at Ayr (7f, soft) 11 days ago; that made it six wins from his last nine starts and he is respected despite the 6lb rise and stronger opposition.

Five-time winner who is effective on testing ground and hasn't been devoid of spark this year; however, it's been a struggle in the main and he finished down the field last time; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

J: Sean Kirrane

T: John David Riches

Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form.

Well beaten on his last two starts (5f/6f, good) but he won three times in a row on soft/heavy last October and perhaps the return to slow ground will spark a revival.

All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here.
