Form & Verdict
Bumped into a smart filly when second on debut at Haydock (6f, good to soft) in the summer and is very interesting on that piece of form but both subsequent 6f turf runs were disappointing (albeit latter was on heavy ground) and it's hard to know what to expect on this nursery/AW debut.

Dropped away in the final furlong on last month's stable debut (C&D) but that was her first run for five months and racing up against the far rail may not have been beneficial; 2lb lower today and could take a big step forward.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.
