Had dropped 11lb lower than when last successful when beaten a neck at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month (third and fourth have won since); races off the same mark, but she didn't get home in one previous attempt over this far.

5-34, the latest win gained at Sandown (1m1f, good to soft, 2-1 favourite) in May 2023; soundly beaten when last in action at Chepstow (1m2f) in July 2024; she's nine now, so can only be monitored off a substantial absence.

Form & Verdict
Tends to do his winning at Windsor or Chepstow and he's unraced here; not without hope if putting his best foot forward, as when taking third behind Luna Magic last week at Salisbury; Jo Supple also rode him that day; fine on soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Showed he's still in form when third over 1m at Sandown for Sarah Bowen (under whom he has won) but can race freely and that contributed to a weak finish last time; the likelihood of a decent gallop here will benefit in that respect and he has soft-ground form.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Both wins have been on right-handed tracks (1m4f Longchamp/1m Kempton) and reportedly unsuited by going the other way round, and the fast ground, when not giving his running at Epsom a month ago; has twice run moderately on soft ground but good to soft would be fine; comes into it.
