Form & Verdict
Hinted at ability in her one start at Kempton (1m, AW) as a 2yo and, after getting bogged down in the mud on her Newbury reappearance, she fared much better when fourth of nine in the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; that form has already received a boost and she's a major player if able to reproduce that effort back on turf.

Off the mark when narrowly winning a Yarmouth maiden (11.5f, good to firm) in June; well held in Group 2 company the next twice, but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight in a Listed race at Longchamp (1m6f, good to soft) in September; each-way claims for last year's winning stable.

Fourth start when winning a Yarmouth maiden (11.4f, good to firm) in early June by a head; better form either side when fourth of nine in the Lingfield Oaks Trial (AW) and ninth of 17 in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); hooded first time and the extra 2f looks a plus but current form is not good enough to be a serious player at this level.

Has a cracking pedigree, which has not yet resulted in a win but this 3yo took minor honours in maidens at Yarmouth (11.4f) and Salisbury (1m4f, again good to firm) on last two outings and it is easy to envisage him staying this trip; one to note on handicap debut.

Nicely bred colt; seemed to need debut run, then fared better at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm; finished third) while shaping as if this extra yardage will suit; should improve further; respected.

Runner-up here (7f, good) and Newbury (1m, soft) last October, but tailed off on his reappearance/handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, soft) in April; tongue-tie now given a go but that latest effort does leave him with something to prove.

Likely player on his best RPRs, which have been achieved over 7f, 1m and 11.5f; however, he's comparatively exposed (now 0-6) and not particularly solid on 2023 evidence; cheekpieces added back down in distance.

Runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) and Newbury (1m) last October, before tailed off on reappearance in his only handicap; back to form when tongue tied in maiden at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago and this drop back in trip may well help, but marked overall improvement is needed.

Form & Verdict
Improved from his debut here (1m, soft) in April when third of 13 at Newmarket (1m2f, good) 13 days ago, albeit about 8l behind the winner; isn't bred to stay this far, but the way he performed last time suggested he is well worth a go over it; in the mix.

Both wins came over 1m2f in the spring of 2024, including here; 0-18 subsequently and he's still 7lb above his last winning mark, but he goes well fresh (has won after a longer break) and finished third on his comeback in this race last year; likely to be competitive.

Has run some really good races in defeat this season, including over C&D on good/good to firm; latest soft-ground Ascot second (Grizedale third) shows he's still in form but he's been beaten on his last 17 starts and suspicion he might find at least one too strong again.

Closely related to 9.4f AW/10.4f turf winner Mafia Power (RPR 89), half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Farandine (7f 2yo; 87); dam unraced half-sister to 12.5f Group 2 winner Armure and four Listed winners; Tom Marquand is an interesting booking but stable not noted for winning newcomers and this looks a tough ask.
