Form & Verdict
All seven wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D last June; didn't fire in her final two runs last season but this is a drop back in grade and she won on her seasonal return in 2022 and 2023; needs a close look off dangerous mark.

8yo who made it eight wins from 48 starts when scoring on reappearance at Windsor (11.4f, good) in May; only third of seven there since (11.4f, good to firm) and may be vulnerable to younger legs today, but she's run well in the last two editions of this race and could do so again.

J: Saffie Osborne

Very inconsistent in four starts for this yard this term and his good second at Windsor (11.5f, good) in May was flanked by a pair of 1m2f howlers; mark fine if he's on a going day but sole appearance here (well beaten when favourite last April) raises a further doubt.

Ended long losing run when successful in a 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield in April; ran well on his next two starts and when down the field on last month's return to action at Kempton (after 11 weeks off) it was in a higher grade than this; handles testing ground and has a good amateur booked; one for the shortlist.

Landed a competitive handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April before being placed on his next two starts, but he was tailed off over this C&D in May; a 77-day break may have done him some good and he could bounce back.

High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out.

Improved with each of his three qualifying runs, culminating in a clear second behind a useful rival in Newmarket novice (1m, good to firm) last June; left Charlie Appleby for 80,000gns since; returns after almost a year off but he's bred to stay this new trip and is open to more progress on handicap/stable debut; interesting contender.

Still seeking a first win after nine starts but he boasts some solid handicap form at up to 1m6f; satisfactory reappearance at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and that should have blown away any cobwebs; 2m presents a new challenge but it could unlock further progress.
