Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 for Roger Varian and then absent until Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when runner-up on his handicap and stable debut; could have a big say up in trip if avoiding the dreaded bounce.

Unraced on softer than good; absent 612 days after his novice races (including 9.4f win) in 2024 for Roger Varian; running-on second on reappearance at Newmarket (1m) and gradually asserted when favourite for six-runner race at Sandown (1m2f, again good to firm) two weeks later; up 3lb but should have more to offer at this trip.

Well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice for Roger Varian at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 and absent since (gelded in interim); changed hands for 40,000gns in February and has joined an up-and-coming stable, but he may need this comeback outing.

Dual AW winner, the most recent coming at Kempton two years ago, and he's been placed on his last two starts, including when 3l behind The Green Mile over 1m3f at Kempton in June; returns from a two-month break with solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Won at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April and he produced one of his better turf runs when close fifth of eight at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last time; however, a record of 0-22 on grass doesn't inspire confidence.

Won a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off 1lb lower; ran well over 8.6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but not in the same form at Southwell three weeks ago; moves back up in trip with Billy Loughnane booked; contender.

All three wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming over 1m2f at Lingfield in April off a mark 1lb lower than today's; has been running well in recent starts and was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) two weeks ago; solid claims.

J: Ebrahim Nader

Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been running well in that sphere this summer; remains feasibly treated off 1lb lower than for his Lingfield win (1m2f) in April and he's respected back on AW.

Form & Verdict
Won on turf debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) in May before good second there (1m, good) seven days later, and she got up in the final strides at Salisbury (1m, good) last month; the step up in trip could be a positive for this lightly raced 4yo and there's lots to like.

Won at Yarmouth (1m, good) in May on second handicap start and got up in the final strides here (1m, good) in June; reportedly never travelling when below par at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) in July and she's well worth another crack at this trip; unraced on slow ground.
