Form & Verdict
Usually ridden by Archie Young, including for the two front-running 1m4f wins at Hamilton in her last four starts; the first win was on soft ground but she was well beaten with that same trip/ground there on latest outing; mixed messages and needs a personal best.

1m4f/1m6f wins for Charlie Johnston; now 0-11 over hurdles and was disappointing in a low-grade handicap here only recently; however, there is placed form in her record and she could have some part to play.

Three Flat wins in 2023; 0-10 over hurdles but was only reeled in late on under James Robottom here three weeks ago (2m1f, good); clear claims off 1lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Last won in April 2022 but she's been placed on most starts this season, runner-up over 2m on latest; chief worry is the lack of impact in her four races on soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on this card last year (1m4f, soft) on his only run at Catterick and 1m5f with heavy ground at Ayr nine days ago saw him register his second win from 27 races, going on 6f out; back up 2lb but respected, with this first attempt beyond 1m5f looking a viable option.

Won over C&D in 2024 and is well handicapped on some of last year's placed efforts; yet to strike form after two starts this year but is of renewed interest now that tongue-tie and cheekpieces are refitted; versatile regarding ground; dangerous to ignore.

Moving up to 1m4f with cheekpieces and tongue-tie worked well last winter on AW; off since March and more to prove on turf, although he does have soft-ground form; also a new trip; interesting if strong in the betting.
