Form & Verdict
22-1 when a promising fourth of 13 on debut at Redcar (7f, good) a fortnight ago; he has a useful pedigree and his trainer's 2yos tend to improve for their first outings; firmly in calculations.

Had dropped to a good mark prior to making all in a lower grade at Sandown (1m, good to firm); solid chance off 3lb lower and goes on all ground.

His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts.

Dual winner on turf for Tim Easterby; has dropped to a good mark and close up in a couple of Class 5s over 1m at Kempton; likely to need more here.

Form & Verdict
Sent off at just 9-2 when fourth of 17 on debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that performance gives her leading claims, even before the likelihood of improvement is factored in from this attractively bred filly, and her half-sister and dam both won on testing ground in France.

J: Jack Gilligan

T: Conrad Allen

Won twice at around 1m in June 2024; never dangerous when eighth of 12 in a 0-100 at York (6f, good) last month and she possibly wasn't helped by racing in a small group of three at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; claims in first-time blinkers.

Won twice at around 1m two years ago; close third over 6f at Newmarket on final run of last season and signs of edging back into form when beaten 4l in a Class 2 at York 20 days ago (6f); returning to further off a handy mark, she's one to consider.

Won twice at around 1m in June 2024; ran well dropped to 6f at Newmarket last June but absent for 283 days afterwards and finished well held at Kempton on her return to action in April; enough to prove for now.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to the stable's Ayr Gold winner Bielsa, among others, and things may click at some point; however, he's been a well-beaten seventh on both starts (7f, good) and needs to be a different proposition today.

Ran well at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) on June's handicap debut; poor run at Redcar one month later, after which he underwent wind surgery; again failed to fire back at Redcar last week and he's got something to prove now switched to AW.

Second foal; dam unraced half-sister to French winners Tasleya (6f 2yo) and Adabeyaat (7f/1m1f) out of dual French 7f Group 3 winning sister to Lowther winner Silk Blossom; could be interesting if at all strong in the betting.
