Form & Verdict
Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected.

Rejuvenated with James Owen, reeling off an AW hat-trick in January and making it four on the bounce when scoring at Catterick (6f, good) in May; only just missed out at Doncaster last month and it was 5f when beaten favourite at Sandown last time; now 3lb higher but she did look promising early in her career and Mason Paetel's claim helps too.

J: Luke Morris

T: James Owen

Only narrowly failed when bidding for a five-timer last week at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) and she's 3lb well-in on the back of that effort; whether she wants the ground slower than good is questionable, and her improvement has come at 6f.

Rampant mare who completed a four-timer when coming back from a break to score at Catterick (6f, good) last month; that made it 4-4 for this yard and she's still competitively weighted on form for her previous stable; impossible to ignore.

Form & Verdict
Four wins at 5f-7f in 2025, including here; back on her latest winning mark and she ran well over C&D two starts ago so can't be ruled out, albeit she often leads so will need things to fall right from this draw.

Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut.

High in weights when first handicapping, following a Beverley novice win (about 7f) as 2yo, but was down 10lb from her opening mark when a never-nearer sixth at Catterick (6f, good) last week on second run for yard; this stiff test looks sure to suit and she has a good run in her.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when returned to 6f at Leicester (good to soft) in September, but, up 6lb, was soon pulling hard on Newcastle AW next time and paid the price; might be aiming for more cover this time and too soon to write off now back on turf.
