Form & Verdict
Promising fourth of 12 on her Redcar debut (6f, good to firm) in May and beaten half a length at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) the following month; form of both races has worked out well and this longer trip should suit on breeding; stable doing well with 2yos this year including a 33-1 winner at Beverley on Tuesday; the one to beat.

Little went right for him when a tailed-off last of eight on his Beverley debut (7f, soft) in June; was sent off even-money favourite for that, though, so must have been showing something at home; no surprise if he puts up a much-improved performance here.

Went back-to-back (1m2f/1m3f on a sound surface) for Charlie Johnston last spring and is now 8lb below the latter winning mark after some lesser efforts for that yard; picked up for 1,000gns in October and is another to keep an eye on in the betting on this stable debut.

Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear.

Won by 4l when upped to 1m4f at Catterick (good to soft) in June but he shot up the weights after that and was only forth of seven in a Class 5 at Chester last time; this drop back in trip should be fine but he needs to kick on again to defy this mark.

Eyecatching third at Wetherby in April (1m, soft) in a Class 6 handicap that has worked out ridiculously well; only second in two runs since (1m, good to firm and 1m1f, soft), not looking entirely straightforward, but he has more than enough ability to win races off this mark; stamina not assured but the new trip is worth a look; contender.
