Form & Verdict
Promise on last May's debut before winning a 6f fillies' maiden at Nottingham later that month; close third on her handicap debut last July (6f, good to soft; now 5lb lower); looked rusty on her seasonal return at Nottingham 24 days ago but it was still a creditable effort, beaten 3l at the finish; still relatively low mileage and could yet step forward.

10st 0lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John Gallagher

7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft.

C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied.

Form & Verdict
Stablemate of Temple Bruer; three wins this year, notably beating 25 rivals at Ascot last month (6f, good), and latest York defeat can be excused (raced prominently over 7f in a race in which the principals came from off the pace); the Ascot run offers hope he's still well treated; big player back down to 6f.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Looked a sprinter going places when seeing off Royal Ascot winner Pilgrim at York last September (6f, good); essentially bitterly disappointing this year, a refusal to settle compromising his finishing effort, and although he's dropped to a dangerous mark, there are risks attached.

Won twice on AW in late 2022 but he has been expensive to follow since returning to action last June; starts out for his new yard (same owner) after a three-month break and with new headgear tried; dangerous mark if the change of scenery piques his interest.
