Form & Verdict
Camelot colt; left 2yo form behind when upped-in-trip for handicap debut at Windsor (11.5f, good; 7-2) last week, galloping on willingly to score by 1.25l; the one to beat carrying 6lb extra with the promise of better.

Dual winner for Charlie Johnston in 2024; runner-up over this C&D last May on his second start for this yard but he's lost his way since, albeit it was his first start for 301 days when beating only one rival home at Newcastle three weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Lingfield (Class 6, 17-2; Rubio De Oro fourth) over three weeks ago; raised 3lb since (manageable), although the change of headgear - visor (fitted again) instead of cheekpieces - comes as a slight surprise; merits respect.

3 yo Filly

OR: 58

Form & Verdict
Failed to stake a claim in four juvenile starts (all over 6f), showing a glimmer when fifth of seven at Catterick (50-1); is bred to be suited by middle-distances - dam was a 1m4f winner - so she's far better equipped for this handicap debut; lacks the benefit of a recent run though.

Stepped up from 6f to 1m4f on her handicap debut when third here last month; below that form when eighth at Lingfield (1m4f) last time; first-time blinkers are now applied and she steps back in trip; something to prove.

J: Jack Gilligan

Short of pace over 6f last term; fared better (finished about 3l behind race-fit Publicity) when upped to 1m4f at Wolverhampton on handicap/seasonal debut and should build on that effort; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Immediate improvement once upped-in-trip, making a winning start over C&D (Class 6, 100-30; from a 4lb lower mark) in February; slightly below that level subsequently though, and has some work to do with Arch Legend on a strict line through Cock And Bull.

Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago.

Eight-race maiden; recent form figures (3334) read slightly better than worth; continues to ease in the weights though and is now 4lb better off with Publicity (for 2l) from last time; improvement required.
