Form & Verdict
Front-runner; in good form when this headgear combination was first fitted in early summer, holding on at Bath (5f, good to firm) and later losing out near the line over C&D (good to soft) in July; not as good since but can't rule out revival.

C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed.

Form & Verdict
Has handled good to soft but her win came on firm ground in May 2023 and best form on quicker surfaces; rarely races on slow ground now and makes limited appeal after a modest effort last time out.

Form & Verdict
Won two classifieds when cheekpieces first fitted in 2023 and excelled herself when making all in a first-time visor at Windsor (5f, good to firm; acts on soft) in June; withdrawn after upset in stalls since; on career-high mark with likely competition for lead but makes more appeal than most.

Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though.

Unraced on slower than good; in form and he won quite cosily here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; the likely strong pace will suit back at 5f (not far away in a useful novice at the trip as 2yo); connections have done very well with the family and this one is capable of rising higher.
