Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten at York (7f, good to firm) last month but pulled hard and had won three in a row prior to that (6f/7f, various ground); retains potential for top yard and could bounce back with big run if settling better.

Only fifth when 10-11 favourite on this month's reappearance in Listed race at Newmarket; however, she may have needed the run and has stand-out form claims judged on last year's best efforts, namely her Wokingham win (6f, good to firm) and a fine third in the Group 1 Sprint Cup over C&D (good).

Won this race first time out in 2024, landed the prestigious Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June and ran a cracker when third to stablemate Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock in the autumn; has a fine record on a sound surface and looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't shone on turf this year and is unproven on slow ground, but she showed strong form on grass last season and has run well on AW the last twice, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) a fortnight ago; key player if in similarly good form now back on turf.

Smooth winner of a Class 4 handicap at Wolverhampton last month; runner-up in three runs since and highly likely she's still attractively handicapped; hard to see why she would reverse Pontefract form with Unequal Love on these terms though.

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning over C&D early last month and has performed at least as well in two starts on turf since, looking unlucky not to win when dead-heating for second at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; only 1lb higher and one to be interested in.

Two AW wins early in the year, one over C&D; made a winning turf debut at Doncaster in July and she ran well for third in a strong fillies' handicap at Pontefract in September (6f, good to soft); still open to improvement after just six runs and her rivals would be wise not to allow her too much rope up front.

Only raced on Tapeta so far, winning 6f novices at Wolverhampton in January and Newcastle in March; out of her depth in a valuable conditions event at the latter track the following month and now makes her handicap/turf debut after 111 days off; market may be helpful.

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing.

Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 13 times since landing a hat-trick in January but she's been a good second off this mark at Carlisle (6f, good) and Chester (6f, good to soft) the last twice and can be bang there if her good form continues.
