9st 2lb |
Six wins (all handicaps) from 32 runs; not disgraced after losing ground at the start when fourth of six at Nottingham four weeks ago; faces a significantly stiffer assignment on her first attempt at a Group race. |

3-10 at Nottingham, including the first of last year's three wins; effective at 1m6f/2m and ran well on recent return, so shortlisted. |

Enjoyed a good 2025 when a three-time winner (from 1m6f to 2m) but she came in last in 1m6f Nottingham handicap on her final run in October; has gone well off a break, though. |

0-10 but he was placed in five handicaps (1m2f-1m6f) before being pulled up at Wolverhampton 15 days ago after his saddle slipped; that's worth forgiving and the drop back to 1m4f should be fine; respected on his first go in a classified event. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Not yet off the mark, but he's been placed in his last five handicaps and had little hope against a subsequent wide-margin winner at Chelmsford (1m6f) when back from a break; has stamina still to prove on Tapeta debut but this is realistic. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |

Won well over C&D in June, completing an AW double, and posted a solid effort back here last time (odds-on winner has boosted the form since); likely player off unaltered mark. |

Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well. |
