Upped to about 1m2f for last three outings, winning at Chelmsford and over C&D before narrowly coming unstuck on hat-trick bid despite a strong finish; raised another 3lb but helps to make this race look very well contested.

2-4 since returning to the AW with cheekpieces fitted, her latest cosy success coming at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) on Saturday; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but there may still be more to come from her over the trip and she has run well on Tapeta; leading claims.

Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages.

Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip.

Four wins in the early part of 2025 (7f and 1m); down to a handy mark again and his penultimate effort was a step back in the right direction; disappointed 12 days ago (slowly away) but a revival isn't out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Improved since handicapping, chasing home a thriving rival at Chepstow in June and then keeping on for second over 1m2f here last week; not a lot went right for him on that occasion and he still looks on a good mark despite a 2lb rise; capable of better.

Form & Verdict
15-race maiden who has dropped a long way in the weights in the last year; only fourth at Yarmouth 16 days ago (7f, good to firm) but he did best of those to race prominently there and the form has a very solid look to it; should be well up to winning races off this mark but his stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust (encouragement on dam's side of the pedigree); claims if he stays though.

No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of five at Brighton last month (1m2f, good to firm); that wasn't a bad race for the grade (winner miles ahead of his mark) but slightly disconcerting connections turn to cheekpieces so quickly.
