Won Class 4 nurseries at Yarmouth (5f) and Chepstow (6f) on good to soft ground this summer; creditable third behind a well-treated rival at Windsor four weeks ago (good to firm); today's extra yardage should be within range but she'll need a clear personal best to win.

Got up late at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) on second nursery start and made it 2-2 under Saffie Osborne at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last Thursday; had 3l to spare on that first crack at 6f and a 6lb penalty may not stop her today; has shown promise on good and good to firm ground.

Quite promising at both sprint trips but he failed to find much when odds-on for a 6f Hamilton maiden on good to soft this month and needs to show he can handle the ground conditions now returned to 5f.

Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
No impact in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot but has run well without winning in three other 5f starts, albeit beaten on merit at Catterick last week (good to soft) and his opening mark is no obvious gift; blinkers refitted (worn once, on third start); due 2lb drop.

All five starts at 5f; won at Nottingham (good) on third outing then failed to back that up in nurseries at Yarmouth (good to soft) and Sandown (good) the next twice; perhaps this Camelot filly will be suited by the step up in distance but other contenders have less to prove.

Best effort so far when involved in some bumping but a strong-finishing second at Chester (good) this month; shade disappointing there on soft ground since, considering he had handled that going on debut; may just have had an off day though and capable of better now handicapping.

Early promise at 5f before outclassed in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, then stuck well to the task when attempting to give weight to a Johnston handicap newcomer at York (6f, good to soft); up 4lb and no strong reason to think she needs 5f but still of interest; regular hood left off.
