Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more.

C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper.

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: Lisa Williamson

Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing.

Form & Verdict
Running well on turf for new yard this summer, winning twice at Brighton (5.5f, good and good to firm); another solid effort at that track four weeks ago and capable of a big run back down in class; unraced on slower than good so significant rain would be a query.

Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.

Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue.

Form & Verdict
Only fifth of six at Windsor on his reappearance/handicap debut in July (5f, good to firm); that was a fair race though and he could take a step forward with that experience behind him.

J: Jack Doughty

The extended 5f at Brighton (good to firm) last May brought his only win from 27 races; his most competitive shows since were on AW this March but he was second favourite on return to turf at Bath last Friday, only to be hampered; not entirely dismissed.

Beaten 2l into sixth at Sandown on Friday (5f, good), her second run for this stable; talented apprentice takes off a handy 3lb and she could take another step forward this afternoon.

Won a Brighton maiden (5.5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last year; those aids were absent until posting creditable thirds behind Snow Berry (good; 22-1) in June and Gypsy Nation (also C&D, good to firm) a fortnight later; handicapper continues to relent and she can't be dismissed.

Generally struggled in handicaps for current stable; perhaps sharper for last month's Beverley return and she's dropped another 3lb since; still asking a lot of the new cheekpieces to turn things around though.
