8st 11lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Michael Bell

Her second win last year came over C&D (good to soft); career-best form when second at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on reappearance, meeting trouble in running, but she could not lay a glove on the principals when returned to 1m4f at Ripon (good) three weeks later; return to 1m6f will presumably help and might offset good ground if it dries out; one to consider.

Close second in this race (good) on her 2025 reappearance and went on to score twice at about 1m6f later in the year; returned with a career-best second of 13 at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago, arguably deserving extra credit considering she met a bit of trouble; successful on her two other visits to Ripon; reasons to be positive.

Not the most consistent but won twice last season, latterly in clearcut fashion with a late bid at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) in September despite suffering trouble in running; 6lb higher today but she went close on last year's return and her yard is among the winners on AW; on the shortlist.

Lightly raced 3yo who has been tailed off on turf the last twice, either side of a wind op; has plenty to prove but the return to AW offers a glimmer of hope as he showed promise on Polytrack/Tapeta last year; blinkers go on.

Runner-up on two of his four 2yo starts (all over 1m on AW); not discredited on handicap/seasonal debut (1m2f, good to firm) in May but tailed off at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm), given wind surgery later in June and not seen since; mixed messages but he's unexposed.

Runner-up on two of his four 2yo starts (all over 1m on AW); beaten 8l when fourth of six on last month's handicap/seasonal debut at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) but that was a warm little race and he could improve for it; this Masar colt is not ruled out now upped further in trip.

Modest in four Flat races (2023 and 2024) but, after a big layoff, no worthwhile form in three maiden hurdles this year; at least handicap hurdle debut should help and the market can guide again.

Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck.

Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running.
