Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who won four times this summer (two over C&D) and returned to winning ways when getting up in the final strides here (5f, good) yesterday; she's 4lb higher in a hotter race today but is clearly thriving and could be bang there if this doesn't come too soon.

Plenty of C&D form in big fields, notably wins on good to soft in July of 2023 and 2025; behind Leadman when fifth at the Dante meeting last month but well in front of David O'Meara's charge and looked a bit unlucky (met trouble) when third of 22 back here three weeks ago; solid.

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

Did best of those in the stands' side group at York (6f, good to firm) in July and then kept on for third of nine at Southwell (6f, AW) 27 days ago despite not getting the best of passages; now down to a career-low mark and this dual C&D winner should appreciate stepping back up in trip.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked.
