Beaten 3l in her first two runs (the second in a good Newmarket novice) before comfortably justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (5f); has a penalty but Joe Leavy's claim takes away 5lb of that and she has the best form.

Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark.

Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better.

Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more.

Off the mark at Chepstow (5f, good) in August but is 0-3 on AW; beaten a neck at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in September and may still have more improvement in him if he can translate that form to artificial surfaces.
