Solid performance in Haydock handicap (1m2f, soft) last month on second start for new stable, beating Doha who gave the form a big boost when winning at Royal Ascot on Wednesday; has won on good to firm; may be capable of further progress, provided she stays this new trip.

Built upon the promise of her first two runs when easily winning Windsor maiden (1m, soft) last October; has an illustrious pedigree, with both parents having won the Arc, and her opening mark could seriously underestimate her.

Won Kensington Palace handicap at last year's Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and added a Listed race at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in the autumn; weakened into a well-held sixth in 1m2f York Group 2 on reappearance in May but she's entitled to strip fitter for the outing; shoulders a 3lb penalty for the French win.

1m2f wins last year at Pontefract (good) in June and Newcastle (AW) in December; pretty reliable and second of 14 at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on return to turf in March showed again that he should be seriously involved.

Mostly creditable efforts on Tapeta this winter but the handicapper has been winning the argument lately and he returns to turf off 2lb higher than when successful at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last summer; likely to be on the premises but might be vulnerable for the win.

Form & Verdict
Four 1m wins last year, including three here (good to firm-heavy), and reappeared with another win at Pontefract (1m, soft) this month; solid fourth at Chester (10.3f, good) last time, when those ridden more prominently were favoured, and there's a lot to like about his claims today.

Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped.

Form & Verdict
Won Thirsk novice (1m, soft) last June and returned to form when third of six to Pearl Eye at Pontefract (1m, soft) three weeks ago; kept on well last time and, having run well over 10.3f last September, this step back up in trip looks a positive move; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Made it 3-4 on handicap debut (1m2f, AW) last December; unable to reproduce that form since but the way he rallied in midfield on last month's turf debut at Newmarket (1m, good) suggests he'll be suited by this step back up in trip; sold out of Andrew Balding's yard for 17,000gns since last run.
