J: Ashley Lewis

T: Peter Crate

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
First past the post four times in succession in the second half of 2025 (demoted to fourth on the third occasion); she has carried on the good work this year, finishing second in three of her four starts; more required to defy this mark and she still has a bit to prove on turf.

Form & Verdict
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions.
