Form & Verdict
Failed to build significantly on debut form, albeit taking minor honours over 1m on next two outings (one on good to soft;- unraced on soft); 1m2f may have been against him on final outing but stiff task anyway; back to 1m for this reappearance, probably needing to find a bit extra.

Good comeback over 1m2f when third of 15 at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and made it win number six when going in at Leicester (1m4f, good) next time; never threatened over 2m at Ascot last Friday but not ruled out back down in trip.

Three wins at 1m6f and it was his sixth win in total when beating four others over 1m4f at Leicester (good) last month; has won off this mark before and 2m looks worth a go; respected.

Mostly ran with credit last term and did so again when third of 15 at Doncaster (1m2f) on 2025 reappearance; this step back up in trip should suit (1m6f winner last October); strong candidate.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability without making any impact when 100-1, 125-1 and 200-1 last autumn at Yarmouth (1m) and Newmarket (1m2f and 7f); two of those were on good to soft; gelded since; no concrete claims but this is a far more realistic task and he needs a market check.

Fifth and about to post one of his better efforts when falling at the last behind Bunker Bay latest (C&D), not his first spill over hurdles; work on from further out of the weights today even with a clear round.

Form & Verdict
Two runs over 6f on Chelmsford Polytrack in February, finding big improvement when making most to justify favouritism in a seven-runner restricted maiden by 2l; that was comprehensive and she's bred to stay 1m; the one to beat if that form is transferred.

Two wins for Michael Bell in the first half of the year (6f, Polytrack and 7f, good); 4lb lower than for the second of those but she's struggled at big prices in two starts for this yard; only of interest if she's stronger in the betting.

Low-mileage filly who doubled her tally when getting up late on handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in May; sold out of Michael Bell's stable for 18,000gns after lesser effect in cheekpieces (now removed) the following month; makes stable debut after 103-day break; market may guide.

Four runs this year; close second twice over 1m on Polytrack, before creditable fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) on handicap debut last time; no fitness issues, so the ground on turf debut is the big question.

Big chance on last winter's best efforts and she ran with credit over 1m here on last month's return from eight months off (had wind op during her absence); less good dropped to 6f and blinkered three weeks ago; dropped 4lb and wears a first-time tongue tie now back up in trip.

Came from off the pace to win on the other course here (1m, good) in May and showed she's tactically versatile with a comfortable all-the-way success at Sandown (1m2f, good; beat Serengeti Sunset) two weeks ago; this in-form filly may have even more to offer; shortlisted.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt with a 22-1 win at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; again ran on from off the pace when respectable fourth of 13 at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 11 days later, having too much to do; that gave hope for this new trip but she did not help her cause by hanging.
