Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 5yo but his form has been a bit up and down so far and he was a well-held sixth of seven at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his return last month; mark is sliding but he comes with risks attached back up in trip; tongue-tie reapplied.

J: Sam Feilden

T: Stuart Kittow

Suited by 1m2f on soft or heavy but he didn't seem his old self in 2024 and was well adrift on a recent hurdle debut; has been given a chance at the weights, so a change in his fortunes can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Ended 2021 with a front-running win at Redcar (1m2f, soft) but he had only three runs last season and was well held in all of them; still 3lb higher than for last win and he has some something to prove after 317 days off.

Sometimes front-runner; below form during a light 2022 campaign but returned from 317-day absence with second of seven at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in May; upset in the stalls and withdrawn on his next intended start, before a backward step when favourite in returning cheekpieces (absent since May 2021) eight weeks ago; none too solid.

Form & Verdict
Won three 1m2f handicaps (good to soft/good to firm) last summer; ended last season on a low note but she shaped with promise at Chelmsford (Polytrack) on her return last month; now only 1lb higher than for last win and she has possibilities back on turf.

Three wins for Charlie Hills last year including a 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford (AW) in her final run; changed hands for 115,000gns in November; has 5lb rise to deal with on return for new yard but she's open to more progress this season and her dam was a multiple winner on soft ground; interesting contender.

Three wins at up to 1m2f for Charles Hills and back on the up at the third time of asking for new connections when making all at Kempton (1m) a fortnight ago; sold for £200,000 on Monday; likely to be popular under Dettori but may not find it as straightforward to control this race from the front from her wide stall.

Three wins at up to 1m2f for Charles Hills, latest on Polytrack in October; feasibly treated on peak form but was tailed off on stable debut before a well-held fourth at Haydock 12 days ago; Frankie Dettori booked on this drop back in trip but has a bit to prove from tough draw back on AW.

Made a winning debut on AW in France (9.5f) last March but has a mixed record since and he was tailed off at Newbury (1m2f, soft) last month on his third run for current yard; record now stands at 1-8 and others are more convincing; first-time hood.
