Form & Verdict
On a handy mark on last year's form up to 8.6f and it's possible the drop back in trip will help, but she's been beaten a long way on both starts this season (1m4f/11.4f) and has something to prove.

Similar run of juvenile form included a win in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) last year and it was a first win since when taking Nottingham handicap (good to firm) over this trip three weeks ago; 3lb nudge but the runner-up has won since; firm contender.

J: David Egan

T: Ed Dunlop

Won 1m Newcastle AW novice as 2yo; has played a part in handicaps since but her return at Leicester, when upped to 1m4f (cheekpieces replaced blinkers, return today), leaves her well short of what will be needed here.

Form & Verdict
Improved upon her first three runs for half-length win at 11-2 on recent handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f, soft), beating four rivals; cost 290,000gns in 2024 and every chance that she will continue to progress.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Ollie Sangster

Prominent racer who is only a neck away from being on a five-timer, with two wins at Ffos Las supplemented by success at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; those wins came in small fields and this is a hike in grade but she's still a player; one of two for a yard that's ticking along nicely.

Made a winning handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m2f, soft) last month before going close at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm), then beat three rivals at Ffos Las (1m4f) eight days ago; should have more to offer and she's respected under a 6lb penalty (goes up same amount in future).

J: George Wood

T: Ollie Sangster

Cost 290,000gns in 2024; edged out Grand Pier with the pair dominant on her handicap debut (1m2f, soft) and then nearly defied a 3lb rise at Nottingham (good to firm); up another 2lb but she'll surely be in the mix, provided she lasts home over this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off.

Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track.

Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip.
