Form & Verdict
150-1 for her Kempton debut (1m) in December but she did catch the eye with a strong finish into sixth (only the third ran quicker for the final 3f); open to improvement this year and she's in a race lacking depth on her return.

0-11 in handicaps and seemingly not quite as good as she was last year, but front-running third of six with first-time blinkers at Haydock (1m2f, heavy) last time gives her a place chance.

0-10 in handicaps and the promise of her seasonal/stable debut has not been fulfilled in her two starts since, favourite on latest; 5lb claimer is enlisted and the cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts) are replaced by first-time blinkers; unraced on worse than good to soft.

0-9 in handicaps and didn't step up from a promising return/stable debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) in April, but she is 5lb lower than when second of 14 here (1m4f) in August last year; could play a part if the return to this track reinvigorates her.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three 2yo runs and he turned in another solid effort on his Goodwood return 17 days ago (1m, heavy); should make another bold bid.

J: Callum Hutchinson

His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance.

Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Second of eight in an Epsom maiden on debut last summer (7f, good to firm); less good twice since, including tried in headgear (left off today) four weeks ago; new trip needs to give her a lift.

Triple-figure prices and has mostly run accordingly, although she did show more when a close sixth of ten over C&D 11 days ago; will need more for the first-time hood and drawn out wide.
