Form & Verdict
Maiden after seven starts but good marks for form consistency; short of room in closing stages when close sixth at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; moves back up in trip from a 1lb lower mark; likely to be in the shake-up again and the new cheekpieces may squeeze a bit more out of her.

Form & Verdict
Lost out by only a short head on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and was not discredited when second to useful filly over 1m3f there three weeks later; absent since a disappointing run in March but still looks interesting on this turf/handicap debut.

Failed to win in seven runs for Ed Walker but she finished second in three of them; sold for 7,000gns in October 2024; returns from a 540-day absence and dropping back to 1m far from certain to suit; on the plus side, she has been dropped 6lb during her absence.

Off the mark over hurdles in a novice handicap at Market Rasen in May (2m, good); has since won on the Flat (1m2f, good to firm); blinkers on for first time over jumps (has worn them on the Flat but not when winning); each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Displayed improvement when switched to handicaps on Tapeta last autumn and made a pleasing seasonal reappearance when keeping-on third of five at Haydock (11.6f, good) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer if that recent run has bought her on.

All six wins have come on AW but she is still 3lb above her last winning mark; her recent third at Carlisle (1m6f, good) was encouraging but she needs to step up more to win again.

Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on last year's form and might be aided by the refitted cheekpieces here, but well down the field on both outings last month (1m2f/1m3f) and her tendency to race too freely remains a worry.

Form & Verdict
Rewarded good market support when keeping on strongly for clearcut win at Nottingham (1m6f, good to soft) last month, and subsequent defeat in Class 4 race at York (2m) is not viewed harshly; remains on career-high mark but still enters calculations.

Three wins last summer included two over C&D; started this season in good form but well beaten on last two outings when back to York for a Group 3 and, more worryingly, a 1m6f handicap; off 2lb higher than her last winning mark, she'll have a shout if returning to her best.

Progressive six-time winner whose last two successes came over 2m here (good to soft/good) in July and September; outclassed in a course Group 3 last month but had previously been running respectably and this return to handicaps will see her in much better light; considered.

Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs.
