Form & Verdict
Out of a Listed-placed 5f-5.4f winner; raced a bit too freely but still belied 66-1 odds on debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month, keeping on from the rear for never-dangerous third behind two useful rivals; contender if able to build on that performance over 6f on turf.

Lightly raced 4yo who won a 6f Ayr maiden in May 2024 but wasn't seen again until shaping nicely in sixth of nine behind Jabaara in a 7f Listed race at Musselburgh in June; faded behind Miss Information at Royal Ascot (1m) since; tall order.

Won a 6f Ayr maiden last spring; pitched in at the deep end in 7f Musselburgh Listed race 13 months later and fared quite well in sixth, albeit never threatening; has unexposed potential now moving into a handicap, though her pedigree doesn't shout that 1m will suit.

Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut.

Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached.

Form & Verdict
Out of an unraced half-sister to two Group 3 winners; clear second to useful rival on debut at Newcastle in March and lost out only by a head at Southwell (also 6f, AW) last month; ought to be a tough nut to crack if handling today's switch to turf.

Began his career with two good 6f runs on Tapeta; upped to 7f for his handicap debut at Leicester last week (good to soft) and saw the trip out well, just unable to peg back a rival who secured first run on him; faster ground to deal with this time but unexposed at the distance.

Placed in 6f maidens/novice on first three starts last term; disappointing with cheekpieces in valuable AW maiden last time (6f); headgear left off for handicap debut; step up to 7f should suit.

In the frame all five starts, including two AW seconds at Wolverhampton (7f/6f) in February; not at best in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on latest outing but can pose a potent threat if back on song here.
