13-race maiden but continues to knock at the door, including when favourite over C&D (second) on penultimate start; blinkers (retained here) failed to yield further improvement at Kempton latest but he's a strong contender.

Well handicapped on old form but he's not won since February 2024 and has been out of sorts in his last three runs; has something to prove after another break and others are preferred.

Two wins for John Butler early last year including an emphatic success over C&D, but has failed to beat a rival in his last two starts including on stable debut after 493 days off at Windsor (5f, good to firm; first-time visor) last month; best watched.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden; gradually lost her way after making a solid start - placed at Chepstow and Catterick - for David Loughnane; fared a bit better when dead-heating for third on first run for Lisa Williamson at Southwell (5f, 80-1) 12 days ago; sprinting looks her forte.

J: Pat Cosgrave

Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

3 yo Filly

OR: 56

Form & Verdict
Didn't offer much on her first two starts (Dundalk 7f, and here 6f), but took a step forward when placed in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (80-1) last time; that wasn't especially strong form, but this is a realistic level in which to make the transition to handicapping.

Hasn't looked entirely straightforward, but certainly isn't short on pace, and showed up well for a long way when racing over the minimum trip for the first time at Lingfield (100-1; third of five) latest; needs to improve on that latest run.
