J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

Enjoyed a good summer at a lower level but a slow start did for her when odds-on in a small field a fortnight ago; clearly well suited by a stiff 6f and this will be a different test against a better class of opponent.

J: David Probert

T: Michael Herrington

Placed just once in first 13 starts but has hit form of late, defeating 15 rivals at Doncaster last month (6f) and did the business over C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; her second in between those wins is strong form for the grade; will take all the beating off just 2lb higher than last time.

Form & Verdict
Five wins in 2025, including C&D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon.

Seven wins on the AW elsewhere; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten half a length into second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and a 1lb rise still leaves him 6lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted.

Five wins in 2025 include one over C&D; has shaped as if back in form on his last two starts, including when a front-running second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; should go well.

His form dipped at Newmarket two weeks ago but it was a Class 5 and he had earlier been in fine form on both AW and turf; likely to bounce back quickly.

Three AW wins this year, the latest here (6f) nine days ago; only 3lb higher under a penalty (1lb ahead of the handicapper) and he has form over a mile so this trip should be fine; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her.

Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist.

Yarmouth and Salisbury 6f winner in the spring (good and good to firm) off at least 7lb lower, but diminishing returns in the cheekpieces since and visor is now reached for; she's still that bit more compelling at that sprint trip, regardless of posting one of her better 7f efforts latest.
