1m2f winner for the Kublers last season and struck at the second time of asking for her new stable in 1m2f Newbury handicap (good to firm) in June, edging out a next-time-out winner with the pair clear; raised 7lb and needs to prove her effectiveness at a shorter trip now.

Won a fast-ground Salisbury novice over this trip for Kublers last summer; remote third in a soft-ground handicap and down the field in a Listed race on her final two outings last year; the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations on return for new trainer (same owner).

Made it 2-4 when making all on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) last June; then absent until Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago, when he failed to settle and finished strongly for 3l sixth of 14 having had to be switched around several runners in the straight; drops back in trip today but this lightly raced 5yo could be quite a bit better than his current mark.

Unexposed 4yo; won a 1m2f maiden on AW last September; weak in the betting prior to her seasonal/handicap debut here (1m2f, good to firm) last month, a race where she plugged on for third; stepping up in trip could unlock more from her but it will need to.

Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though.

Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.
