Form & Verdict
Won first time out at Yarmouth (1m6f) last summer and did so again in the same race this season; has claims on that form but she's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs and needs to rediscover her spark; acts on fast and soft ground.

Dual-purpose performer who has not won since November 2022 but he's on a reduced mark on the Flat and didn't get much luck behind Jamih here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; was beaten less than 2l in that race and he's in the mix at this new trip.
