Two wins on the AW this year, the latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in May; not the easiest to predict, though, and has followed that success with two lesser efforts; not quite sure what to expect.

Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout.

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw.

This is only his third race on turf but he finished last and second last in the others; none of his 2025 or 2026 form reads well enough and his 0-33 overall record is probably the bottom line.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.
