All seven wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D last June; didn't fire in her final two runs last season but this is a drop back in grade and she won on her seasonal return in 2022 and 2023; needs a close look off dangerous mark.

Form for new stable features a win at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in June and creditable effort at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last time; remains on career-high mark and is far more exposed than some of these rivals.

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance.

Nine-time course winner, on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; still on workable mark after 3lb rise for last month's C&D success and encountered traffic when only ninth on heavy ground here 11 days ago but, nevertheless, he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface.

Finished third to useful rival on final novice start (1m2f, good) and has shaped encouragingly in two handicaps (1m3f/1m4f, AW) since; gives the impression this drop back in trip will suit; unexposed 3yo who appears to have a race of this nature in him, especially as pedigree suggests there's better still to come (dam/grandam were winners for his owners); interesting.

Front-runner; pipped on the post - his third solid run in a row - at Sandown (1m6f Class 3, good) on penultimate start; did too much to soon back on the AW at Wolverhampton next time and, even over this shorter trip, those forcing tactics are tough to deploy at Newcastle; near career-best required.

Front-runner; just one win to his name but he's been banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose at Sandown (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; this doesn't look overloaded with pace and his rivals would be wise not to give him too much rope.
