Form & Verdict
Improved with each start last year (in RPR terms), culminating in excellent fourth in valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f); the winner of that contest won a Group 3 next time, the second went on to land a Local Group 2 in Qatar and the third was sent off 100-30 for the Fillies' Mile on her next outing; sets the standard on AW debut; trainer/jockey took both divisions of this in 2025.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Andrew Balding

Eased once beaten upped to 1m on Good Friday when bidding for an AW double; consistent sort otherwise, including on turf last year, and may rebound; however, balance of form suggests he's no certainty to defy his mark on handicap debut.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Progressive in defeat on turf across his four 2yo starts and he reappeared with a novice win at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago, when odds-on; further improvement is necessary if he's to follow up today, but that can't be ruled out and there's every chance 1m will be fine; yard in good form.

Ran green but finished well for third on debut at Salisbury last June (6f; 12-1); that contest has worked out well, he's been gelded since and moving up in trip should help.

Saxon Warrior gelding who shaped well in a trio of novices (6f to 1m) before posting a good fifth of 11 on his handicap debut at Ascot (1m) 12 days ago, fading last 1f; the clear form pick.

Placed in novice races on first two starts (6f/7f) and again displayed clear promise when fifth of 25 in Newbury maiden (1m, good) last month, racing prominently throughout; likely contender on handicap debut.
