Form & Verdict
Reappeared with close third at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in April and good ground was unsuitable there a fortnight later; returns from a break and her chance hinges on whether she gets her favoured slow surface.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden/novice events at Lingfield (7f/7.6f, heavy/soft) last July; tough tasks in Listed races last October and she may have needed her reappearance in May, but she was again well beaten and others have less to prove.

Promising when winning twice (7f/7.6f) in the mud in the summer of 2021 but mostly disappointing since; made a low-key stable debut over 1m at Southwell (20-1) in December; falling in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market.

Looked promising when winning twice on slow turf at Lingfield last summer; interesting on her best handicap form but she made a low-key stable debut over 1m at Southwell last week (not beaten by the trip); drops back to 6f with tongue-tie and cheekpieces tried together (both worn independently in the past); something to prove for now.

Form & Verdict
Has won just one of her 16 starts and slow ground would be a concern, but she's finished second three times this season and was beaten just a short head at Beverley most recently; the first-time cheekpieces may eke out something extra and help her get the job done.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on turf/seasonal debut at Ascot in May so has something to prove on grass, and she wasn't at her best at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; however, she had a wide passage and had won there previously (7f, AW); remains lightly raced and this 4yo is not written off.
