Form & Verdict
Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard.

Coaxed back to form by James Owen last autumn; had an unsuccessful stint in the Middle East over the winter but returned to Owen and won handicaps at Leicester (6f) and Salisbury (5f) in the spring; sold for 25,000gns last month; looks on a tough mark ahead of his stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Should be all the better for her Doncaster reappearance and she's back on the same mark as for her Windsor success (6f, good to firm) last June; however, all her turf wins have come there and at Salisbury and this is the first time she's run on this track.

Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over C&D last month; went agonisingly close in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (again 6f on good to firm) 19 days ago and although back up 2lb today, it's not forgotten that she went close in this race last year off 6lb higher still; big shout if she can find the gaps in coming from off the pace.

Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over 6f on good to firm 16 days ago; a 5lb rise looks manageable, particularly as she went close off 4lb higher at this meeting last year; on the shortlist.

OR: 84

Form & Verdict
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming.

Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f.

Form & Verdict
Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run.

Hold-up mare who's a five-time winner over this trip at Southwell (two previous runs here came off much higher marks); best effort of a light season came at Carlisle last time, back down from 7f, and the return to Tapeta is clearly in her favour.

Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere.

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount.
