She made giant strides in quick time in the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster; disappointed at Haydock in May and again after five months off at Newmarket (1m4f, heavy); could resume her progress back on AW but she does now have a point to prove.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

All of her five handicaps have been over longer trips; won two in a row this spring at Lingfield (2m, AW) and completed the hat-trick on turf debut at Doncaster (2m, soft; four ran); disappointing on good to firm in May and her chance is presumably boosted by a return to testing ground on this first run since; interesting to see her market strength, as she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Readily justified favouritism in C&D contest last Saturday, proving well suited by the first attempt beyond 1m4f on the Flat (winning hurdler at 2m1f/2m2f); leading player under a penalty (future mark 2lb higher).

On a long losing sequence but returned to some form when back from a break and finishing a 12l third of five over C&D 12 days ago, ridden by Rian Corcoran; respected off 4lb lower.

Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere.

J: Rob Hornby

T: David Pipe

Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return.

Form & Verdict
Successful six times on AW, most recently off this mark over C&D in early January; respected on that success but needs some improvement on the balance of his subsequent form; his rivals are much less exposed.

Has form figures of 314 (all at Kempton) since handicapping and upped to 2m, the win gained narrowly; only fourth when a short-priced favourite last time but may still have more to offer; remains of interest.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.
