Ended last season on a high with 1m4f Listed win at Naas in a race in which stablemate Starford flopped; maintained progression at Naas on return; beat all bar a restored-to-form Starford in a Group 3 over C&D; has developed into a dependable mare; best suited by easy ground; faces stiffest task yet.

Form & Verdict
Has had a good year, winning over 1m2f at Brighton in July and at Windsor last month; now 9lb higher than the latter win but this step back up in trip is a concern as he looked a non-stayer when third over 1m4f at Leicester in August.

Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025.

Four-time winner who made all under Mason Paetel in this race (was 2lb higher) last year for Ed Dunlop; very respectable third on stable debut at Lingfield in May and soft ground may have blunted his finishing effort last time; interesting.

Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid.
