Form & Verdict
Third in hot race at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and won at Newmarket (1m, good) next time; not beaten far in fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last time, despite interference, and that form is working out well; this improving 3yo can be in the mix if the forecast slow ground isn't an issue.

Has won handicaps around 1m on good at Newmarket and Hamilton in recent months; advanced her form again when second of eight at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) 13 days ago; one of two solid contenders for Tim Easterby.

Has won two of her last three races, both at around 1m on good, at Newmarket and Hamilton; 3lb higher than last time; not sure the step back up to 1m2f is ideal, although fair run on previous try at the trip.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to win at 12-1 at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month; showed promise on good to soft early in career; not ruled out but she was only sixth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time and needs to better that effort.

Won over 1m here (good to firm) in May and she's finished runner-up at Hamilton (1m3f/8.3f) in her last two starts; continues to edge up the weights but she should go well again back up in trip.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Won at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month before respectable sixth at Thirsk (1m, good) and close second here (8.3f, good); comfortably held in fourth over 1m at Carlisle yesterday; takes a sizeable step up in trip but her trainer's horses are frequently versatile in terms of distance; might be a player if she stays.

Form & Verdict
Had just two rivals to beat on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but she comfortably made all and this half-brother to connections' smart performer Point Lynas could have plenty more to offer; this unexposed 3yo may well take a 6lb rise in her stride; unraced on slow ground.

Six wins last September-December (including C&D) and she's gone very close to adding to that tally on her last two outings, beaten just a neck over C&D (good) last Saturday despite being badly hampered; lots to like.

Enjoyed a remarkable 2025 when a six-time winner, including over C&D; below par this season until third of seven in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 11 days ago but very much one to consider off a reduced mark now.

Losing run is mounting up and her three fourth placings this season reflect stagnation, rather than building towards a win; that said, she has won over C&D (soft) and returns here off a workable mark.

On a handy mark on her best form for Roger Varian (9.4f/1m4f); however, she made it 0-7 when tailed off at 33-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW); wind op since; transformation needed.

Eight-race maiden; left Roger Varian after disappointing run in the autumn and was well beaten on both starts for new stable this spring (1m2f/8.3f; had wind op in between); back up in trip with cheekpieces tried here; big leap of faith required to support her.
