Form & Verdict
Had been quiet in her first three starts after returning in June, but suddenly took off when bolting up by 17l under Ryan Kavanagh in an apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m2f, good) a week ago; avoids a penalty for that (9lb well in) and will be very hard to beat if in a similar mood.

Ended her 2025 campaign with an August win but hasn't been in anything like the same form since returning to action and is the most exposed, as well as the oldest, contender in this field.

Form & Verdict
2lb lower than when second of 20 on his York reappearance (1m4f, good) in May and drops into a Class 5 for the first time, but he hasn't built on that performance in either start since and is 1-20 under rules since arriving from France; more needed.

His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that.

Won in France in 2020 and scored over C&D in 2022 but has developed a rocky profile and was in poor form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; has joined Martin Keighley (same owners) but watching brief advised on this comeback in a tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Had been off for almost a year when making a successful stable debut in an amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he looks the best alternative to Typical Woman.
