Form & Verdict
Promising start to her career when second of 12 in a 5f maiden at Leicester (good) three weeks ago, drawing clear of the third (who has won since) despite showing her inexperience under pressure; some encouragement for slower ground on pedigree (dam handled it) and she's open to improvement; this looks a good opening.

2-3 at Catterick, fending off Lucius Aurelius there (5f, good to firm; from 4lb higher) in April 2025; 0-8 since but did take a step back in the right direction when third to Betweenthesticks on seasonal reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good; 9-2) four weeks ago; possible player.

Scored on her reappearance at Catterick (5f) last season and mainly performed with credit after; she's now 3lb below that winning mark so needs considering.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Has run to a similar level in three runs in 5f novice/maiden events, third on soft ground the last twice; suspicion he'll find at least one too good this time too.

Sonic Si

9st 8lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Tony Carroll

13-race maiden but he's reached the frame in sprint handicaps on AW in his last four starts; remains unexposed on turf and he could go well again off a sliding mark back in this sphere.

0-12 overall but has made the frame on the last three of his four starts for Tony Carroll, most recently when fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month; also suited by Tapeta and continues to edge down the weights; considered.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Ran well when second of 11 on her Pontefract debut last month (5f, soft; 40-1) and similar form when runner-up at Ayr one week later; fluffed her lines when favourite over C&D last week though and she'll likely need improvement to make it fourth-time lucky.

T: Roger Fell

Both wins have come in four-runner events, the latest a Wolverhampton nursery (5f, Tapeta) early last month; fair fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) three weeks later (just over 2l behind Facoulty), but the return to a stiff track may not be ideal.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Roger Fell & Sean Murray

Only 2lb higher than when landing 5f Wolverhampton nursery three weeks ago but that small-field race did rather fall into her lap after the leaders went too fast; things aren't sure to work out as favourably this time.

9st 2lb

J: Jack Doughty

Has kept busy but she hasn't been at her best in either of her two handicap starts since winning a 5f Musselburgh maiden in July (beat three rivals); needs to fare much better for the switch to AW.

First foal of a moderate maiden; stable won this race with a newcomer 12 months ago and market support would be a positive.
