Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's tumbling down the weights and this represents a drop in class; 7f the query.

Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either.

Thrice-raced Kodiac filly who drops back in trip having looked a non-stayer over 7f at Newmarket last time; went close at Newbury (6f, good; first two well clear) earlier in July and holds leading claims on that form.

Went close at Newbury in July (6f, good) and was not far off that level when trying to make all at Goodwood (6f, soft) in August; beaten just a neck when back to her best at Windsor (6f, good to firm) latest; sets the standard and should again be a big player.

Has a mixed record in her four starts but she went close at Newbury (6f, good) in July and got back near that level when a front-running second at Goodwood (6f, soft) last Saturday; sets the standard on her best form and she still has potential; key player.

Sister to a useful 6.5f/7f winner in France; perfectly satisfactory debut when fifth of eight at Newbury (6f, good; 9-1) last month; the winner that day has gone in again since and improvement seems likely; not ruled out.

Won on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) in May; ran with credit when reaching the frame on her next five starts (including here on good to firm) and something presumably can't have been right when well held at Newmarket four weeks ago; solid contender if that latest run is ignored.

Made a successful return/handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in April and has finished runner-up in three of her four outings since, the latest a narrow defeat at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago; up another 2lb, but in good order and she ran with credit on soft ground as a 2yo.

Has improved with each of her three runs and was a fair fifth at Windsor (6f) latest; this half-sister to two Tapeta winners represents last year's winning yard and could continue to progress now making her AW/handicap debut in a first-time tongue-tie; even more interesting if backed.

Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected.

Thrown in on her best form for Georgina Nicholls and she made it 2-2 for new connections with a Lingfield win that was more commanding than the winning distance might suggest; 1lb wrong under a penalty but surprising if there isn't a fair bit left in the tank.
