Form & Verdict
3-3 since cheekpieces were added last month, with all the wins gained over 1m; latest 7lb rise asks quite a lot of her but she's evidently in prime form, and new jockey Rose Dawes claims 5lb here.

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.

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.

Won three in a row over 1m on Polytrack in early part of this year and posted his best turf performance when second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; eased in grade here; one to consider.

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.
