Form & Verdict
Has only won a maiden from 14 starts but she's a solid Listed/Group performer who ran her usual honest race when third (from off the pace) behind a shock winner at Salisbury ten days ago (1m2f, good to firm; effective on soft); unlikely to be far away.

Seventh attempt at a Listed race saw her finally win one at Windsor (11.4f, soft) five weeks ago, switching to front-running in a small field and holding on by a neck; now searches for her Group-race breakthrough (she's run in six) and she has each-way claims.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Hasn't been able to win at Group/Listed level (0-12) since winning a maiden at two but posted a peak RPR when third of 14 in 1m2f Newcastle Group 3 last time; that entitles her to serious consideration back in a Listed race.

Form & Verdict
Waltzed home in a 1m2f novice here on reappearance (good to firm; unraced on firmer) and then ran in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft), coming from last at one point to finish fourth in the first-time cheekpieces; that form looks all the stronger now and there's probably more to come from this lightly raced colt; rain welcomed, especially as he was fourth in a Group 1 last season on heavy.

Fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; however, well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October, gelded and never dangerous in 2m Ascot Group 3 (150-1) on return, so he seems to be swimming against the tide in this good race.

A novice event remains his only win from ten races but he was fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October and gelded last month; some caution has to be advised.

J: Jason Watson

Unraced on firmer than good; fourth in Group 1 Futurity here (1m, heavy) last October; sole win was a novice event but he came from last (over 5f out) to fourth in a 16-runner race for the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) next time and also stayed on when beaten a neck in Listed contest at Windsor (11.4f, soft) three weeks ago; wore cheekpieces in those last two starts but now tries blinkers; the trip makes some appeal but he does need to improve.

Form & Verdict
Impressively graduated through the handicap ranks and followed two seconds at Listed level with a respectable fourth in a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (last three races at 1m4f); solid chance in today's company but the forecast rain promises to rock the boat as all his best form is on good or quicker ground; now with Karl Burke having left Roger Varian.

Very useful Flat racer in his prime; 0-4 over hurdles but was clear second over C&D (good to firm) on handicap debut 17 days ago, having been slightly hampered by the winner William Years close home; 2lb better off with him today; major player.

Talented Flat performer (peak RPR 114) for Karl Burke; beaten 39l, 23l, & 35l respectively in three starts over hurdles (novice/maiden) for this trainer; possesses the ability to make a mockery of this opening mark, but there are risks attached.

Form & Verdict
Has only encountered good ground on turf; absent since finishing well held in the Group 1 Queen Anne at last year's Royal Ascot; his previous competitive efforts in a 1m Listed and 1m2f Group 3 make him a player at this level, provided he's ready to rock after his long absence; interesting to see which way he moves in the market.

Well beaten at Sandown in June on sole outing this year and he refused to enter the stalls and was withdrawn there last month; however, he's 2lb lower than when second in this race last year so is capable of having a say.

Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021.
