Form & Verdict
7lb lower than when winning the preceding race on this card two years ago and again ran well when third of ten over C&D (good) last month; return here should suit after being a beaten favourite at Hamilton last time, but she faces a tough task against the 3yos.

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected.

Just a single win, at long odds-on in a Polytrack maiden, to go with a good few short-priced reversals and hasn't always looked the easiest; will want to settle better round here, back up in trip, and the handicapper ultimately knows where he is with her.

Form & Verdict
Chelmsford novice winner (1m, AW) last October and has hit form on turf lately with two comfortable wins at Ripon (1m2f/1m4f); another 6lb rise demands more, but it's impossible to rule her out in her current form.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Michael Bell

Her second win last year came over C&D (good to soft); career-best form when second at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on reappearance, meeting trouble in running, but she could not lay a glove on the principals when returned to 1m4f at Ripon (good) three weeks later; return to 1m6f will presumably help and might offset good ground if it dries out; one to consider.

Close second in this race (good) on her 2025 reappearance and went on to score twice at about 1m6f later in the year; returned with a career-best second of 13 at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago, arguably deserving extra credit considering she met a bit of trouble; successful on her two other visits to Ripon; reasons to be positive.

Not the most consistent but won twice last season, latterly in clearcut fashion with a late bid at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) in September despite suffering trouble in running; 6lb higher today but she went close on last year's return and her yard is among the winners on AW; on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
4-11 this year, all of her wins coming over 1m5f and the latest at Hamilton (heavy) 15 days ago; up another 4lb which isn't the end of the world, but she hasn't raced over a trip this sort since finishing third over C&D in June last year; may find some of the 3yos a bit too speedy.

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Form & Verdict
Her two wins have come at Beverley (7f, good) and Newcastle (1m, AW) but the longer trip didn't look an issue when second of nine behind an improver at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month, well clear of the third; 3lb higher but it's likely she has more to offer over this far.

Developed into a very useful sort last term, notably Group/Grade 3 performances at Ascot (won) and Kentucky Downs (ran well); chance of landing this prize depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Made her name as a handicapper but popped up at 22-1 in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) in July and was unlucky not to finish closer in America last time (1m Grade 3m, firm); however, whether she's up to this class is debatable, and rain could scupper things anyway (unraced on anything easier than good).
