Form & Verdict
Encouraging seventh of 24 at Royal Ascot last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) and got up in final stride at Beverley (8.4f, good) 12 days ago; she's up just 2lb for last time and Newmarket trainer is 5-15 (33%) here; can be bang there if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

9st 8lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Campaigned mostly at about 1m; largely productive on turf/AW and has been successful in three of her last four handicap attempts (stiffer task in French Listed event since); stiff course is a plus returned to 7f; one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Beaten on all 13 starts since consecutive 2yo wins in 2022 (good/good to soft) but he's run well in defeat on two of his last three starts and drops back down in grade this afternoon; capable of having a big say.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Charlie Johnston

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage.

Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose.

Returned to form and capitalised on a reduced mark at York (1m1f, good to soft) last month, and another good run when third over this C&D (good) last time; drops back down in grade and has won here twice; solid claims.

Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue.

J: Paul Mulrennan

18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo.

Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance.

Won three times last year (1m, good to soft/soft) and reappeared with a promising second at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; could build on that latest performance today and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Two wins for James Ferguson (1m/9.4f) and caught the eye when keeping on for fourth at Ayr (1m, good) on last month's stable debut; took backward step when 4l sixth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) last time but today's trip at this stiff course could prove ideal; has run well on slow ground.
