Form & Verdict
Soft ground perhaps not ideal when odds-on flop on second start; warm favourite again in maiden at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) four weeks later and always prominent to win it; off nearly two months but more to give.

Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted.

Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo.

Form & Verdict
Second on debut and narrowly went one better in C&D maiden; 11-1, last of 14 in useful race at Beverley (again 5f, good to firm; made most) but the widest draw had something to do with it and, much like Mademoiselle, she showed plenty of speed to make the running; needs to resume progress.

Nottingham nursery winner for Charlie Johnston ran once on AW earlier this year for Kevin Ryan before joining present yard and no luck in running in Down Royal handicap last month; cheekpieces now tried but others hold stronger claims.

Made seasonal return at Wolverhampton over 6f in April when a well beaten seventh of eight; two wins to her name as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston; last win came last August from a 2lb lower mark; out of form since then but makes stable debut here and a claimer aboard could give her a chance.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Two front-running wins as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston (including here over 5f); sold for 12,000gns after a couple of lesser effots last September; well drawn for a prominent racer and interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her first run for Kevin Ryan.

Form & Verdict
220,000gns yearling; fair form first two starts, runner-up at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on second occasion; like Storm Call, she finished behind in the Hilary Needler at Beverley last time, having shown early pace from a wide draw; much better than that and not discounted in the first-time hood.

Campaigned exclusively at 5f, winning twice as a 2yo; however, her efforts in a light 2025 campaign suggest this extra furlong is worth exploring; ran respectably at Sandown (soft) most recently; one to consider.

Ended 2yo campaign with two 5f wins and returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May (5f, good); excuses in the 3yo Dash at Epsom when last seen 12 weeks ago; starts out for her new, in-form stable (same ownership) at a realistic level but she will need some luck in running from stall 1.

Cost 250,000gns as a yearling; progressive over his three races, on latest asserting in clearcut style in the final 1f of a novice at Sandown (5f, good); better still looks on its way for this Group 2 Gimcrack entry.
