Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo who regressed sharply for Jamie Osborne; been off for four four months since well held over C&D and the change of scenery will need to have done the trick.

Refitted with cheekpieces when landing 1m Haydock handicap for current yard in May; resumed from ten-week break with a solid sixth of ten at Ayr (1m) 22 days ago, hampered over 1f out; can't be discounted.

Has a patchy profile but she returned to form with a win at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and backed that up with a good second at Ripon (1m, good) the following month; now goes back up in grade but she's respected off same mark as last time.

Struck at the second time of asking in handicaps when making all under Lewis Chalkley at Ripon (6f, good) 17 days ago; his three closest pursuers haven't done much for the form since but he was comfortably on top and his unexposed profile provides the hope for better again.

Out of an Italian Oaks winner but she's yet to be placed and has been well held in four runs for new yard this season; continues to drop down the weights but she was never involved after a slow start at Newcastle last time and others are preferred.

Out of an Italian Oaks winner and showed some ability for Harry Charlton last autumn, but three starts since returning for this yard in April have yielded little; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Went close over C&D in May when 4lb higher; that hasn't been a springboard to better things but it is not inconceivable that a change of headgear can provide the necessary spark to break his turf duck.

Breakthrough Carlisle handicap success in May has been flanked by three rather less auspicious efforts, similarly over 6f on good; only one attempt at 5f so far (Tapeta novice stakes at huge odds) but dam and (to Listed level) granddam both scored at this trip.
