All four wins over 1m2f on good to firm ground, the latest at Lingfield last month; again ran well when second of five at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, but he looked a non-stayer in one previous go over this far.

Went close in a Bath handicap before justifying favouritism with a bit in hand at Leicester (1m, good to firm); up 3lb for that but mildly progressive by the looks.

No problem with the step up to 1m2f last time and in fact looked as though tonight's extra furlong would suit; remains open to improvement and goes on the shortlist under William Buick.

Five-race maiden who is the least exposed contender; went close in Bath handicap (1m, good; wore hood/tongue-tie) six weeks ago, almost collaring a rival who received a well-judged ride from the front; respected, assuming the removal of headgear doesn't have negative effect.

Form & Verdict
Has run well on heavy but finished well beaten under those conditions on her handicap debut at Goodwood (got behind early); had previously made all at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and an RPR that day of 89 suggests that her current mark should be manageable.

Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024 on Flat, two over C&D on soft/heavy; ploughing through testing ground seems to suit him far better than the good going he's had this term, of which latest start was far better than reappearance; chance if back to his best and although he's worn headgear only once in the last two seasons, he did win once in cheekpieces in 2023.
