Form & Verdict
Well held in 6f novices on grass but was much better when just missing out in a C&D race three weeks ago (sustained duel from 2f out); the winner had some fair form and this mark could be okay.

Five runs as a 2yo, notably a nursery win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last September; sold out of Andrew Balding's stable for 20,000gns in December; still has potential but returns from 317 days off against match-fit opposition; hood worn for first two starts is back on.

Has improved with each start, making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) ten days ago; 5lb higher and needs to show she can do it back on grass, but her ability to cope with a sharp left-handed track is a positive; shortlisted from a good draw.

Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck.

Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back.

After a heavy defeat at Royal Ascot she easily made all in a maiden at Bath (5.7f, good); perhaps did too much too soon from a wide draw at Sandown; should go well.
