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.

Ended last season in good form on AW; has done most of her winning on turf but looks weighted to the hilt on reappearance, being still on a career-high mark; seems unlikely to improve aged eight.

She was having just her third run on AW when running out the stylish winner of a C&D handicap nine days ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her but stall nine tempers enthusiasm.

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.

Ran his best race for this yard when picking up well to win a 5f Class 2 handicap at Ascot (good; has won on soft) in decisive fashion eight weeks ago; looked every inch a Pattern-race performer there but this is a strong race of its type and he'll need another personal best.

Has won on soft and good to firm; pulled hard and just minor late progress in the Wokingham here (first-time tongue-tie, retained) in June but he hadn't been far behind Aramram at Newbury (also 6f, good to firm) previously and a stiff test at 5f could prove ideal; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner; she's added another two wins to her tally this season and has held her form since the second of them; not beaten far over C&D ten days ago and runs off the same mark; chance.

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).

Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering.
