Enjoyed an excellent 2025 and she signed off with a 1m4f listed success at Toulouse in October; remains quite low mileage, so can do better still this season.

T: David O’Meara

Won a novice at Hamilton (1m, good) last July and back on the scoresheet at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September on third handicap start; failed to kick on subsequently but had excuses for those two runs; there can be be optimism that 1m4f will suit; could go well in first-time tongue-tie on return.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

First run on ground softer than good when she scored comfortably in six-runner handicap at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago, making most; her only run much beyond that was in June on second start, when runner-up over 1m4f, so there's a stamina question on this appearance at 1m6f; she is also now 7lb higher than last time.

Ran just once last year (last April) and also unable to pose a threat on her comeback at Newcastle this March; however, she's on a handy mark on her 2024 exploits and may be able to rediscover that form at some point.

Consistent and steadily progressive in 2024 until below par in cheekpieces in final run that year; well held again on Ripon reappearance (1m4f, good) last April and she's been back on the sidelines since then; has something to prove after another lengthy absence and her only AW run was on her debut.

Improving with virtually every run, and was even better than the bare result when second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good; came from a long way back) four weeks ago; up in grade again but still has more in the tank and not to be underestimated.

Poor strike-rate of 1-18 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat, including in Listed company; fine effort on seasonal return when 3l behind Beset in Listed heat at Naas (10.5f, soft); not beaten far when fifth of 12 in Longchamp Listed race latest (10.5f, gd-sft); place chance but overlooked by McMonagle.

Hooded all starts; clearcut winner of a novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in July; 66-1 in the Listed Galtres at York (1m4f, good to firm) but showed vastly improved form in fifth of nine, not getting the best of runs; after only three races, she could have more to give on this handicap debut.

Yet to race on soft/heavy ground; steadily progressive last term, building up a solid record that featured three wins; good third at Newmarket final outing; cheekpieces worn the last twice are now removed; likely to go well.

Reliable sort who won the first and latest of her four handicaps; wore first-time cheekpieces in the latter at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) 15 days ago when she went on over 1f out to score comfortably; 7lb rise demands more but she could be set for better still in the headgear.

0-7 since winning on 2yo debut in October 2024 but she finished close-up in a few Listed/Group 3 races last season (1m2f-1m4f, various ground) and she might be the type to improve with age; not ruled out on reappearance.

Sole 2yo race was a heavy-ground win in October; short-headed in 1m2f Listed race here in May on reappearance, the first of three seconds this season and one of those was on "very soft" ground over 10.5f in France (the only time she's worn cheekpieces); Newmarket (1m4f Group 3) four weeks ago saw her first Group-race assignment since the Oaks and she ran well this time, in third, but much better is nevertheless required today in the returning headgear.
