There was promise before she got off the mark with a convincing success at Newcastle five days ago, relishing the step up to 1m; well backed that day and good chance of defying the penalty.

She should be well handicapped now and her last two runs have both been respectable; cheekpieces tried last time are now replaced by first-time blinkers; one to consider.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Ian Williams

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Ran encouragingly over C&D on final start during brief spell with Thomas Faulkner and found 7f too sharp on debut for Ian Williams; very well handicapped on best form and looks interesting back up in trip.

Hasn't gone on from her debut third at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May and she's now 0-6; cheekpieces made little difference last time and she now takes a marked rise in distance.

Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix.

Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied.

Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle.

Form & Verdict
Dam won over 1m2f so no surprise to see her improve for the 1m on handicap debut here 19 days ago, going down by only a neck in the new blinkers; much respected off 3lb higher.
