Form & Verdict
2-2 since cheekpieces were added, narrowly getting the better of Dappled Light at Chepstow (1m, good to firm; value for more than the nose winning margin) and then following up in decisive fashion back at Chepstow on Monday (1m, good to soft); penalised today but still more appealing than most.

Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving.

J: Archie Young

T: Jack Channon

Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 4yo; strong at the finish when a nose second to Kalama Sunrise at Chepstow two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); even allowing for that winning margin flattering him slightly, he has to come into the reckoning on today's 6lb better terms.

Hard to predict and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month, but he may have needed that run and he won this race (firm) off 3lb higher last year; should get a good pace to aim at and he needs a close look in the market.

Completed a double off 2lb higher over C&D (firm) last May but he's not hit the same level in five runs since; has bit to prove after 171 days off and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; visor is removed and cheekpieces are reapplied.

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance.
