Form & Verdict
Feasibly treated for handicaps on the form of her near-5l sixth of 18 at Doncaster last month (6f, good to firm); unlikely that her 13l debut defeat (dwelt; needed the experience) is all she has to offer at 1m.

Form & Verdict
Dual 7f Polytrack scorer either side of Christmas; fewer realistic opportunities so far on turf, and last month's heavy-ground Leicester fourth (7f) may be worth marking up given the refusal to settle following a 104-day absence; enters the mix if more tractable this time; down 1lb.

Turned things around with a rallying win on his Nottingham reappearance (8.3f, good) last month and he backed that up with a good second from wide draw at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); remains well handicapped on his best form and he's a key player on this drop back in trip.

Back below the mark of September's Newcastle nursery success, and as effective over 1m on turf as Tapeta at his best; needs to race less fractiously than on either 2024 start if he's to add to his tally here.

Triple winner at up to 1m2f; arrives on the back of a career-best effort, when the ready winner of a 0-55 handicap at Carlisle (1m, good) recently; has been below par next time after his two previous successes but he's a player again after a 5lb rise, provided he can back up his win.
