Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class.

Form & Verdict
Won at Nottingham (1m, soft) in April and has continued in good form, finishing a good fourth over C&D (good to soft) recently when away from the main action; also effective on fast ground and could be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
0-6 and needs to produce a lot more than she's managed the last twice; however, perhaps soft ground didn't suit at Carlisle most recently and she's posted some strong finishes over 6f, suggesting this first crack at 1m is worth a go; this 3yo is not a forlorn hope.

Form & Verdict
Won twice on turf at Bath last August/September and in good form on AW earlier this year; on a handy mark but below his best back on grass on his last three starts and the first-time blinkers need to prompt a bigger run.
