J: Charles Bishop

Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good.

Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast.

Came closest to winning when beaten a length into second of seven at Lingfield (6f, soft) in July, but not so effective on fast ground there a fortnight later; ran with credit when fourth of eight at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) in April and one for the shortlist in new headgear combination.

Not wildly progressive since her Brocklesby fifth, but a 1l second on this month's C&D nursery debut (soft) was career-best form, and all the more meritworthy considering she'd turned out 24 hours earlier; offered little on sole previous start on a sound surface, albeit over 7f.

Ten-race maiden who was below her best on his final two outings for Martin Dunne last year and beaten 21l when last of ten on stable/seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; steps back up in trip with cheekpieces back on and she needs to have taken a big step forward.

Inconsistent nine race-maiden who was out of sorts in 1m nurseries in her final two runs last season; some of her best efforts have been at 6f but she's untried on AW and has something to prove on return for new yard; cheekpieces removed.

On yard debut took a 1m2f Naas handicap under today's rider in June and ended a poor run of form with unlucky nose defeat by Longseoir over C&D last month, not clear run and allowing winner first run before running on really strongly at the finish; good chance of overturning that form give a clearer run if handling conditions.
