Form & Verdict

Ascot maiden winner as a 2yo (6f, good to firm); handicaps haven't really gone to plan but he's well treated on his peak form and getting back on faster ground should be a positive, as is the stable form; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict

Only 1-13 but recent efforts (on good and soft) are among her best and she didn't get the clearest of runs here last time; shouldn't be inconvenienced by return to 6f.

Form & Verdict

Won her maiden over this distance on fast ground; emerged from well off the pace to be bang there on good to soft on handicap debut at Epsom but soft was too testing at Ascot; remains interesting off this sort of mark.

Form & Verdict

Third and first in two of his three runs in blinkers, last time collecting narrowly at Newmarket (good) on his first run back at 6f since early 2021; this is a sharper test but he made pretty much all last time; 3lb higher.
