Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly who made a promising start with her third at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) in April and has shown useful form with her placed efforts in Listed events at York (good to firm) and Chantilly (good) since; sets a clear standard back in a maiden and she should be hard to beat.

Form & Verdict
Travelled strongly strongly for a long way when third at York (6f, good to firm) on his debut in May; didn't really build on that on on his drop to 5f at Newcastle (third of seven) but it is still very early days for this well-bred colt and he should have more to offer; could be the main danger to Dorothy Lawrence.

Two turf wins (in blinkers/cheekpieces) for previous yard; ran poorly, minus headgear, on debut for new stable but may rebound with visor now applied; not disgraced in sole AW attempt.

In-form 5yo; overcame trouble to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and was a creditable fourth in a big field here (6f, good) ten days ago; should be thereabouts again off an unchanged mark.

Mixed fortunes since winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 (good to firm); got back on track to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month despite being denied a clear run; his peak performances have come at 5f but he was a C&D winner in his 2yo season; respected up just 3lb for last time.

Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024; seen only twice last season and down the field on both his AW outings this term, but he met trouble last time and is probably in much better form than his finishing position suggests; undoubtedly well handicapped again and this C&D winner is interesting with a good-value claimer booked.

Form & Verdict
Has laid a solid foundation with his placed efforts at Hamilton and Beverley (both at 5f on good) but he recorded an RPR of 68 in both those runs and has a lot to find with Dorothy Lawrence here; probably one for another day.

Good third at Southwell on his reappearance in April but two runs since have been short of that level; headgear experiment quickly aborted; chance if he can return to the Southwell form.

Respectable 5f form as 2yo without progressing; went down narrowly after making the running on Southwell AW reappearance but he didn't find much back on turf at Musselburgh (5f, good) since and there are likely to be stronger finishers in this field; first-time blinkers fitted.

Yet to beat a single rival in six starts and was never going well on first run for Lucinda Russell here (8.5f, 80-1, beaten 22l) just under a fortnight ago; newly applied cheekpieces will need to have a transformational impact; better to look elsewhere.
