Now 311 over C&D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere.

Registered a 1m2f double on good to firm last July, with the first leg at this track; off the boil in the autumn (with cheekpieces added on final start) but one result is that she's now just 1lb above her last winning mark.

A fair 1m2f winner at his best for Alice Haynes, but he's failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Lingfield (1m5f) and Bath (1m) in 2026; others appeal more.

Sole win (21 races) was over 1m2f at Yarmouth last May but subsequent efforts include two seconds; left Alice Haynes for 17,000gns in October and came last of 12 (hood removed) when upped to 1m5f for new yard in February; now has a bit to prove over a trip this short.

Mostly well below form in 2025 but came back down the weights and has often been competitive since October; indeed, Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 16 days ago saw her first win since a C&D race in summer 2024; it's possible that she is on her way back but this is a warmer contest.

There has been promise in all three of her starts, including when fourth of eight at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) in April; subsequent wins by the first and third (twice) give the form some substance and she shouldn't have an issue with stepping up again in trip on handicap debut.

Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid.
