Largely consistent in headgear this year and came good with clearcut success at Epsom (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago, his 12th start; probably needs another career best but is evidently in very good nick. |

9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins have been over 1m and latest was over C&D in April; well held at Yarmouth latest but she had an excuse on that step up to 1m2f and still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form; interesting contender back in trip and she's won on good to firm and soft in the past. |

Churchill filly who has registered all four wins over 1m, mostly at Brighton, including latest start (good to firm); looks one of the likelier players in this field, provided she stays the new trip. |

10st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came on turf at Epsom (7f fillies' maiden) in August 2023; more miss than hit since joining Gemma Tutty (0-4), although there was a slight glimmer at Wolverhampton (7f; third) in November; blinkers make a return and that potentially offers hope. |

Sole win was in an Epsom maiden 16 months ago and she was never involved over 8.6f here (seventh of 11) last time; cheekpieces are now added but she's been in and out this year and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others are more convincing. |

Seven-time course winner who is 1lb below the latest of those which came over a mile last August; finished sixth of ten after blowing the start at Kempton (1m, AW) 20 days ago and he's yet to win over 7f but has to come into consideration back here; blinkers (worn once before) replace cheekpieces. |

Not beaten far on his last attempt at this level (1m2f here) in March; not a solid option but no surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers given a go. |

Some fair efforts at a variety of trips this year but he didn't fire at Brighton (1m) last week; cheekpieces now return but he's 4lb out of the weights on this return to AW and his last win was in 2023; opposable. |

Often front-runs; on the downgrade for current stable but that enables him to run at this level for the first time; needs a revival though. |
