Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in her first three starts (including on Polytrack), but with cheekpieces added she took a big step forward when running out an easy winner on nursery debut at Thirsk (7f, good) seven days ago; 8lb well in under her penalty and the longer trip is unlikely to be a problem on breeding; half-sister to a winner around here and should be hard to beat.

Back in reasonably good form, having made the frame in last two outings, beaten only 2l at Haydock latest; still quite fresh, having had a light 2025 campaign, and is 1lb below last winning mark; one to consider.

Came good 12 months ago when faced with testing ground so every drop of rain to fall beforehand will be welcomed; well beaten in two runs this year but quite possible she'll be seen to better effect this time.

Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive in first three starts, the latest when third of ten in a Kempton maiden (7f, Polytrack) in June; a few winners have come out of that race and the longer trip should suit on pedigree; shortlisted on nursery debut.

Often leads, as when a wide-margin AW winner on yard debut last September; has run many good races in defeat since, including when losing out late on to a stablemate over C&D (good to soft; pair clear) last week; due to go back up 2lb; drying ground no help but form claims otherwise.

Creditable third at Kempton last time (1m) on second run after wind surgery; wouldn't rule out, particularly if it rains (suited by some give), but lacks a recent run.

Form & Verdict
Up and down in four starts over 7f on turf, winning twice but also modest twice as when 10l behind Lexington Belle at Thirsk (good) seven days ago; different surface today, but has it all to do in order to reverse the form on 6lb better terms.

Dual winner in the summer, more recently on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft); more exposed than some of these but recent efforts have been very respectable; probably won't be far away.

Turf winner at about 7f; has raced over a range of trips for new connections (1m, 1m4f and 7f) and didn't get much luck in running at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; worth another go at 1m but is quite exposed and unraced here.
