Form & Verdict
2-2 on fast ground here (1m3f/1m5f) this month and won easily last time; 9lb higher in her bid for a hat-trick but still far from exposed, though rain may pose a question; stable also runs Two Auld Pals for the same owner.

0-7 and generally disappointing on turf for new stable this year; needs to up her game to land this prize and her only previous AW experience was a down-the-field finish on Dundalk's Polytrack in 2021.

Form & Verdict
Promise in her first three starts prior to comfortably beating three rivals on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; may not have found the race panning out her way when a running-on second of six at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last time, but the way she performed there suggested this stiffer test would suit; still open to improvement and respected.

Sole win was a four-runner AW handicap two years ago; runner-up in six of her 11 starts since (last nine were in Listed or Group events) and that includes four times by a neck or less, staying 1m6f and appearing to act on almost any going; can go well fresh but has a bit to find on form.

Showed fair form at a juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning at Hexham in March 2024 (2m, heavy); didn't progress in handicaps after that; has since won twice over 1m5f on the Flat at Hamilton (good/soft) but below his best on last two Flat runs.

Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when making it ninth-time lucky at Haydock (11.6f, soft) in May, but went up 7lb for that and has struggled in both outings in the same headgear since; others more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Both wins on soft ground, firstly at Redcar (1m1f) last October and then on his Ripon reappearance (1m4f) in April; not made the same impact in handicaps, but is easing down the weights and could easily bounce back, especially given suitable underfoot conditions.
