Form & Verdict
Consistent filly who has won two of her last three starts, including when beating an in-form rival by a neck (first two clear) in a Musselburgh nursery (5f, good) last Friday; 6lb penalty to carry, but very much in-form and isn't short of early pace which is such an asset over sprint trips around here.

Nine races in total and three 5f wins this summer, including two nurseries; while the best of that form gives her a place chance, concern arises from a lesser display on sole attempt at 6f and a poor show on latest start.

Three wins from last four starts, the latest a C&D nursery 25 days ago; up in grade again today and latest 5lb rise demands a bit more from her but she might still be improving.

Form & Verdict
Bred for stamina on the dam's side; promising third of six on Ripon debut (5f, soft) in April in April, but hasn't gone on from that and well beaten on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good) four weeks ago; has the inside draw but she needs to improve for the switch to the AW.

Eight-race maiden who has proven consistent rather than progressive; didn't see out 7f quite so well as reopposing stablemate Tropical Air at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; more minor money perhaps her best hope.

Form & Verdict
Ran with credit in all three starts on turf in May, her best effort when fourth of seven at Ascot (5f, soft) on her second outing (first three all won their next starts); half-sister to the Polytrack/Group 3 winner Corazon so a good chance she will take to this surface on nursery debut; respected.

Failed to fire at Newcastle last time, an effort that was disappointing given she broke on terms; on the same mark as for her Chelmsford win in August but others have more pressing claims.

Overcame a tardy start to win at Chelmsford in August (6f) but she hasn't got away with it twice since; feasibly weighted but her propensity for missing the break makes her a risky proposition.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on nursery debut at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, but the only one of these with previous AW experience having finished third of 12 in a maiden here (6f) in June; possibilities if the return to Polytrack galvanises him.

Reasonably consistent thus far having produced form figures of 334 in sprint races on AW/soft, most recently fourth at Chester; may be capable of progress now switched to handicap level; solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Placed in four of his first five starts, but took a step backwards when sixth of eight on nursery debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago; out of a Polytrack winner which offers encouragement for the new surface, but he does need to resume his progress; stable also runs Lightning Point.

Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck.

Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back.

C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form.
