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.

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.

Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival.

His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.

Ran away with a 0-70 handicap over C&D in November but hit with a 10lb rise and he has come up short in eight subsequent runs; now back to his last winning mark and cheekpieces return after being left off at Southwell ten days ago; one to consider.

Below best this year, managing only sixth of eight in refitted cheekpieces (now removed) at Newcastle (7f) a fortnight ago, but he's effective over this C&D, well drawn and too well handicapped to rule out.

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.
