Form & Verdict
Won on heavy ground over 1m2f here in May 2023 and runner-up on four of her eight subsequent starts, most recently behind Crystal Flyer here (1m4f, good) last month; tackles a new trip today but there's every chance it will be within range and she's one to consider with conditions to suit.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up at Ascot (1m4f, good to soft) in July on second handicap start and then went one better here (1m4f, good); 2-2 at Goodwood and this 3yo half-sister to Chester Cup winner Zoffee could have more to offer now up in trip, provided she handles conditions (unraced on soft/heavy ground).

Consistent for Tom Ward in 2025; changed hands for 70,000gns but she went too freely when beating only one home on her stable debut in a 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood on her recent return; she's the sort to bounce back.

Winless in 2025 for Tom Clover but she largely performed with credit; changed hands for 70,000 guineas subsequently but this C&D scorer faces no easy task on her seasonal/yard debut.

4 yo Filly

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who made it three wins from her last four starts when scoring comfortably at Kempton (2m, AW) last time; has won twice on soft ground and her trainer has won four of the last eight runnings of this race; a 7lb rise for last time may not stop her today.

Did too much up front at Ascot (1m6f) eight weeks ago; progressive otherwise in handicaps, winning twice, and may still have more to offer; possibilities, provided she stays the new trip.

Form & Verdict
Won twice on soft ground last season and back on the scoresheet at Doncaster (14.5f, good) this June; however, hasn't kicked on from that on either start since and needs something extra today.

Quite useful on the Flat for former yard, winning three times at up to 1m6f; given that ability she's been quite disappointing in her two races over hurdles (at 2-1 and 6-1).
