Marked improvement on debut form when 4l third at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March; now switches to turf and open to further progress; from the same family as the smart Biggles, who handled soft ground well; interesting.

1-7 for Ralph Beckett last year, the win coming in a Goodwood maiden (1m, soft); rain not an issue, but something to prove down markedly in trip on stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market useful.

Narrowly won Goodwood maiden (1m, soft) in May and has made the frame in all three subsequent handicaps (1m-1m2f); rather disappointing when beaten favourite on latest occasion, though, and may not be entirely straightforward; tongue-tie added today.

Form & Verdict
Regressive in three outings last year, well held in blinkers on soft ground on final start; not without a chance judged on her debut form, but likely to face testing conditions again after nine months off.

Form & Verdict
Had been gelded prior to showing improved form when second of five in handicap at Kempton (7f, AW; wore hood, left off here) on reappearance; top on RPRs here and should stay 1m, although he's not proven in the mud; stable won this race in 2023.

Form & Verdict
Consistent form from 7f-9.4f first four starts; well beaten over 1m4f on heavy two weeks ago, seemingly not solely through lack of stamina; bit to prove but it's possible he'll bounce back over this shorter distance.

In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up.

Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up.

Record of 1-14 but she nearly added to her tally when going close off this mark over C&D (good to firm) last Monday; that was much more like it on her drop back to 1m and she's a big player if she can repeat the form.

Moderate in just three starts since her successful handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in September last year; being a half-sister to two AW winners the main positive.

Made all at Chepstow (1m, good; handicap debut) last September; absent after flopping at Brighton the following month until she reappeared with big defeat back there one month ago; quite possibly needed that and she's not fully exposed, however; heed any market signals.

Form & Verdict
Modest form to date, taking a backward step when eighth of 12 at Chelmsford (7f) nine days ago; should do better in time but may be of more interest in middle-distance handicaps.
