Form & Verdict
Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many.

Arrives late on the scene and she cut it fine over this C&D in August against Thunderous Love but that took her record in 6f turf handicaps to three from her last five attempts (all on good to firm; has gone close on good); has run well on Newcastle AW since and the likely strong pace will suit.

Third turf win of a productive summer when edging ahead late on over 6f at Nottingham last month; the fact two fourths is the best she's managed in six previous attempts on AW is a slight concern but has to merit respect in current mood.

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.

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.

All four wins have been on Polytrack and latest was a comfortable success on his drop to 5f at Lingfield three weeks ago; this is tougher off 8lb higher but that was a personal best last time and he could have more to offer at this trip; respected.

Three AW wins over 6f this year, including twice at Lingfield; best to forgive latest effort (did too much up front over 7f); possibilities provided he's effective at this new trip.

J: Darragh Keenan

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.

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.

Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights.

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.
