Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D.

On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; progressive last year, winning on three occasions, including when making all at Haydock (5f, good) when last seen in October; now 5lb higher but this well-bred filly looks the type to continue progressing as a 4yo; holds an entry in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot.

Won three times over 5f last season and the form of her first two runs this year (one over C&D) is strong; her levels have dropped since and she was behind Hypnotised when fourth at Newbury (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but she'll be a threat to all off this mark if back on song.

Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta).

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

With this visor back on he won at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month, landing that handicap for the third year in succession; not beaten far when fifth of 13 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) since but he's never won off a mark this high and there's a suspicion he'll again be vulnerable.

Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival.

Prominent racer; won at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on second start since returning to this stable and he went close over that same C&D next time; ran creditably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 17 days ago but he has a better strike-rate on the AW (1-24 on turf).

Always tended to be hot and cold in the past, so disappointing he didn't fare better at Lingfield (AW) latest given a decent record there; not a lot of wiggle room off this mark and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore blinkers twice as a 2yo).

Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too.

Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade.
