Cost 105,000gns as a 2yo but she was only tenth of 12 at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) on her debut in November; travelled well to a point in that race and now drops to 5f for Archie Watson but she still needs to leave her initial form a long way behind.

105,000gns 2yo; tenth of 12 on her belated debut at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) in November, but having been dropped in trip and with the tongue-tie removed she beat a couple of previous winners when successful at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month; major player despite her big weight for her triple-handed stable.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Well-held third on his Southwell debut (11-1) last May but he left that form well behind when justifying favouritism under a prominent ride at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November; has a penalty after another break but he pulled 6l clear with the runner-up last time and is open to more progress on this drop in trip; major player.

Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Odds-on winner in the second of his two juvenile runs at Deauville (6f, good) in August 2021 but he's been on the sidelines since; left Godolphin for £3,000 last summer and now returns after a massive absence but he was useful as a 2yo and needs checking in the market; been gelded.

His last win was 15 months ago but he made a bold when a close third off a reduced mark over C&D (good to firm) last time; responded well to first-time cheekpieces in that race and has claims if the headgear works again.

Won on the other course here (6f, good to firm) last May but he's been up and down since and has been out of sorts in his last two starts; now 8lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added.

Merely mid-division at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago but prior to that he took a step back in the right direction when third on the Rowley Mile there (6f, good) and his stable is in fine form; not discounted.

Well held on his Haydock debut (6f, good to firm) in July 2022 and same story over C&D on his recent comeback for new yard; has plenty to find on the figures and minor handicaps look the way forward after this.

Went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him back here since (all wins at 7f, including here); his last success came off this mark; likely to be on the premises under Rodriguez.

Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue.

Has a useful pedigree but he finished seventh in two AW runs (6f/7f) last year, with a best RPR of 51; returns after another break and he needs a transformation on this drop to 5f.
