Form & Verdict
Latecomer to the game who's done most racing (for two yards) on the AW; has the ability to win off this mark but is odds-on to blow the start and can pull hard, so there are risks involved after two months off and going beyond 1m for the first time.

Creditable second in two of her three starts this year; filled the same position (off 2lb higher) in this race 12 months ago; solid chance, for all that she has a poor strike-rate.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: George Baker

The second runner for local trainer George Baker and this one has an enviable 3-4 record here, having picked up two Ladies' Derbys (2024 and 2025) in addition to the Amateurs' Derby last year when trained by Ben Brookhouse; not discounted on that score but this is a good bit hotter than those events; refitted tongue-tie could be a plus.

In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

J: Mr Paul Hainey

T: B F Brookhouse

Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added.

The hood going on brought about some improvement in the second half of last year for a yard that's won two of the previous five runnings of this; there's not much wiggle room off this mark back from a short break though.

Dam was a sprinter and he'll want to settle better than he did in first-time blinkers here last time (didn't look the easiest) if he's to see out today's longer trip; however, that was a step up on his AW efforts either way and Oisin Murphy (1-2 for the trainer) is an obvious plus.
