Form & Verdict
Relished her first encounter with officially soft going when beating Shagpyle impressively at Newbury (1m4f) in September; romped away with a heavy-ground Catterick handicap next time on her only subsequent turf start; now 11lb higher than at Newbury but conditions are ideal and she remains of interest.

Useful over middle distances on the Flat (five wins) and made promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; that run came after a layoff and she'll be dangerous if it brought her on.

Useful on the Flat for Jack Channon up to autumn 2024; however, her form went the wrong way last year and she was sold for 10,000gns in December; needs to turn things around on this hurdle/stable debut

Form & Verdict
Suited by the return to 1m4f on soft last summer, winning twice, but she dropped right out on her final Flat start and two wins for new yard have been in mares' novice hurdles; found little back on the AW (2m) three weeks ago but at least these conditions will suit.

Form & Verdict
Progressive for previous yard and has carried on the good work for this one, winning three of five turf starts, over C&D (good) and 1m6f (good to firm and soft); ended 2023 with a close call on the AW (2m) in November; this looks a tough start to the year back at 1m4f.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to the yard's high-flyer Pyledriver; winning debut in a soft-ground 1m2f Ascot maiden last May and in the frame in two middle-distance novices subsequently; looked interesting on handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f, soft) in September but no match at all for Flash Bardot; however, she has a big weights turnaround and this lightly raced 4yo should improve.

Unexposed 4yo who scored at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in June and wasn't beaten far in a deeper race at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) last month; unraced on AW, but his sire is 11-57 (19%) here in last five seasons so a good chance he will handle the track.

Form & Verdict
Classy pedigree; beaten favourite in two of her first three runs but things didn't go to plan in the second of them at Kempton (1m4f) when runner-up to one who went on to win a Class 2 handicap; gained compensation when winning a maiden over that C&D on final 3yo start and a likely type for handicaps; has run well on good to soft, unraced on soft.

Never out of the first two in four runs last season, winding up with a maiden success over this far at Kempton; carried little confidence when a 6-1 chance on reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f; handicap debut) and finished well behind on soft ground; it could be those conditions were not to her liking and she remains of interest; stable won this twice in eight seasons.

Bred to stay well; has raced only on the AW, having something up her sleeve for both handicap wins on Southwell Tapeta (1m4f and 1m3f); up a further 7lb and interesting to see how she copes with this different surface as she's had a strong tendency to go left under pressure on AW.

Out of 1m1f winner in Germany who was in the frame in Listed company; won all three starts in Germany at about 1m1f (soft and good to soft) but was outpaced over 1m2f on recent AW debut for new yard before her finishing effort took her close but not past an improved rival; looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip back on turf; solid chance.

Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience.
