Form & Verdict
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.

9st 5lb

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ollie Sangster

The winner of three of her five starts in handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) but those victories came in fields of five, four and three; the step up to a Class 3 proved too much at Salisbury a fortnight ago and she may prove vulnerable here too.

8st 13lb

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.

T: Ollie Sangster

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: J F Egan

T: David Evans

Placed here (1m2f, good) in June, after a break, and not discredited when second of four over C&D (good) last month; remains well handicapped on some of his winter AW form and can make his presence felt again.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Bernard Llewellyn & Robert Williams

Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Bernard Llewellyn

Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better.
