Form & Verdict
Kingman half-sister to the same owner's 1m/1m2f winner Al Hakeem (including Group 2; 123); 9-4 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month and she knuckled down well to lead close home; that was a promising start but this is much tougher under a penalty.

Won both 2yo starts and, after running well this year in her first two handicaps, she won one at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) last time; it was a blanket finish but she's just 2lb higher today and this lightly raced half-sister to Group 2 winner Al Hakeem could still have more to offer.

Unraced on softer than good; two from two in her first season last year and she's run well in defeat this term in handicaps at Windsor (1m2f) and Pontefract (1m4f; made most); needs to build on that but has had only four races, so it may be possible.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden but she's shown useful form in Listed events in her four runs this season; caught the eye with her strong-finishing third at York (1m2f, good to soft) on her penultimate run and she didn't much luck over 1m4f there (good to firm) last time; sets a high standard on her peak form and she should be hard to beat back in a novice.

Progressive last year, with Listed win at York's Ebor meeting (1m4f, good to firm), and after reappearing with a Listed second at Goodwood (1m4f, good) she went one better in the Group 3 Bronte Cup at York (1m6f, good); vulnerable if Estrange is at the top of her game but she's the stand-out danger.

2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him.
