Form & Verdict
Just one win from 30 starts but that was over 2m at Lingfield (AW) in February and she travelled smoothly for a long way when runner-up here (1m6f) on penultimate run; returns from a short break but she looks interesting back on AW; cheekpieces removed.

Ran out the easy winner of the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb lower mark; only seen twice in 2025, running creditably in July but less good last week (both 1m6f); better expected.

Form & Verdict
Sole win was over two years ago but that came over C&D and she's run respectably on the Flat (1m5f) and over hurdles (2m1f) since returning from an absence; on dangerous mark back in this sphere and she could have a big role play.

Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Most recent win came in a staying hurdle in 2022 and he's hard to predict; finished runner-up at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Bath since and has something to prove again after that laboured effort.

Form & Verdict
1-23 on the Flat and that win came in 2021 but he was a bit of an eyecatcher when a staying-on fourth of 16 at Tipperary (12.5f, good) last time; changed hands since; he needs checking in market back up in trip on stable debut.
