Form & Verdict
6-11 at Yarmouth where she rattled up a five-timer last July-October, mostly over 7f but also 6f for the fourth of those wins; did well on Chelmsford AW (7f) this April before her form dipped at Newmarket three weeks ago; career-high mark but has to be of interest back at this track.

Won debut in 2021; only four races since and behind in his three handicaps, the latest (28-1 at Doncaster last month) after he left Dermot Weld for 40,000gns in October; unraced on firmer than good; hooded first time in this revival bid.

Usually travels strongly; 0-6 this season, coming from the back again for creditable minor honours over 7f on heavy ground at Leicester and Newbury (yesterday) in his two starts this autumn; he's the sort who needs things to drop right but more than capable off this mark if they do.

Last win came over 7f on heavy at Newbury 13 months ago when just 3lb lower; hasn't been running badly during a light season on ground too fast; off since June and record fresh isn't the best, but he's strongly considered.

Had an excuse (raced away from his rivals) on penultimate outing and otherwise highly competitive this year; respected but 4yo and 5yo campaigns raise something of a doubt over him about ground firmer than good.

Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a good-ground maiden last October on her only turf start; solid sequence on AW included three wins; not nearly so good at Kempton on latest outing but perhaps going right-handed for the first time was an issue; major player if that run can be forgiven.

Won three times at Chelmsford when trained by James Tate; the return to AW has prompted further progress for her new stable and having seen off Aramis Grey at Wolverhampton she ran on well to score at Newcastle on New Year's Day; latest 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond her.

Form & Verdict
Given the useful form he showed as a 2yo, including when fourth of seven in Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh, it's quite something that he is still a maiden; very disappointing in his two races last year before leaving Joseph O'Brien and his two runs for new yard were also not good enough to win this.

Form & Verdict
Races prominently; three creditable runs off his higher AW mark this spring, before a heavy defeat back on turf at Newbury on latest outing; his last win was at this track (7f, good to firm) last August, in just a four-runner race but that peak turf effort means he's not dismissed.
