J: Olivia Haines

T: Stuart Williams

In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons.

Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot.

Form & Verdict
Made the running for 6f AW win on final start in Ireland; not obviously ahead of her mark in Britain but versatile ground-wise and Jack Doughty is back in the saddle with his claim; unlikely to be far away.

Fair third in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, AW) ten days ago but this is tougher back in a handicap and her sole win was on Polytrack in December 2023; hood reapplied.

Sole win came over Dundalk's Polytrack 6f, though about as effective on turf at her best; trail went cold from the end of last summer, and didn't lay down enough of a marker on this month's return to persuade.

3 yo Colt

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
All races at 7f, including handicaps here and at Wetherby; gave it a good shot from the front on the former occasion, but his finish was weak next time and he looks a good candidate for a drop in trip; unraced on slower than good.

Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past.

Unraced here since making all in C&D maiden (good; acts well on slower surfaces) in September; has had excuses for new yard in 2024 and on a useful mark now; has run well in blinkers, first-time cheekpieces today.
