9st 6lb

J: William Pyle

T: David & Nicola Barron

Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today.

Versatile as regards ground; form this year features an AW success in February and close second at Wetherby (7f) last time; five-time winner on turf and C&D record includes two placed efforts; not ruled out.

J: Connor Beasley

Two good runs at Southwell preceded her Newcastle success in February (7f; blinkered first time); she hasn't run badly at Lingfield twice since, for all she has finished down the field, and this test may prove more suitable; key player.

J: Lewis Chalkley

Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider.

Made winning return under Lewis Chalkley at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and has remained in form, better than the bare result suggests when sixth of seven at Musselburgh (very slowly away) 11 days ago; in the mix.

Off the mark in similar event at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last time; half-brother to two multiple winners for his connections, so should improve further; respected under 6lb penalty.
