Form & Verdict
Notably strong traveller and better than ever this summer, running well from a career-high mark when third of seven at Ascot (5f, good to soft; handles firm as well) in July; placed on both her previous starts at Goodwood; drying ground would help.

Yet to win at Ascot but she has run some good races over C&D, including a close fifth in this race 12 months ago; better than ever in defeat this season; another big run is on the cards.

Prolific winner, mainly in the summer, who ran as well as she ever has off tonight's career-high mark on her comeback a month ago; entitled to have come on for that at her age and boasts a solid record over C&D (won this in 2023), so enters calculations.

Form & Verdict
Too keen for 7f on his first two starts; off the mark dropped to 5f at Windsor three weeks ago (good ground) but it was hard work and the form looks modest; given his pedigree and connections it would be folly to rule out further progress but the likelihood is that it will be needed.

British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage.

One of his best domestic efforts when winning a C&D handicap last July; seemingly improved when successful in 5f Listed and Group 2 events at Meydan (yielding and good) in midwinter but has much more to do in this company.

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).
