Form & Verdict

Runaway winner of four-runner novice at Catterick (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) last August; had wind surgery in November and a clearcut win when favourite for seven-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; should stay and 6lb rise doesn't look harsh; well related and could easily have more to offer, so the hat-trick beckons.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 5221 at novice level and she found more progress upped to 1m4f when going close on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month; up 2lb but she stayed on well for a clear second last time and that form has been boosted by the third and fourth since; big player.

Won a novice here and her one handicap win was on Newcastle AW; moved up from 1m4f to 2m for warm race at Lingfield (AW) eight weeks ago and, although below best, did not appear beaten by the trip as she plugged on into fourth of 14 with first-time cheekpieces; may have more to offer as a stayer.

Lightly raced since her debut early last year, winning at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) and Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta); steps up another half-mile in trip, but she shapes like a stayer and is worthy of respect, especially if strong in the market; cheekpieces are given a go.

Form & Verdict
Consistent and steadily progressive in 2024 until below par in cheekpieces in final run that year; well held again on Ripon reappearance (1m4f, good) last April and she's been back on the sidelines since then; has something to prove after another lengthy absence and her only AW run was on her debut.

Ran just once last year (last April) and also unable to pose a threat on her comeback at Newcastle this March; however, she's on a handy mark on her 2024 exploits and may be able to rediscover that form at some point.

Form & Verdict
Completed a double when dead-heating at Chester (12.3f, good) last July but he was well below form at York in his final run last summer; returns after 238 days off but he still looks on a workable mark and his penultimate win was over C&D; needs watching in the market on this drop back in grade.

Usually races prominently but came from the rear, having fluffed the start, to dead-heat over C&D (good; subsequently awarded outright win) last summer; now only 1lb above that mark and returns here after respectable run in quite valuable Musselburgh race last month; one to consider.
