Form & Verdict
There's been some improvement over her first three starts, hooded on last two outings and fifth of 12 in C&D novice on latest; that run was on soft ground, so she brings some positives to this nursery debut.

Heavy-ground winner over 7f on final 2yo start; conditions have mostly been difficult for her this year but her staying-on third of ten at Bath (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago was more promising; in the thick of it if adding cheekpieces has a good effect.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Alice Haynes

Ended her 2yo campaign with a heavy-ground success on handicap debut at Leicester (7f); that was off 2lb higher but she's struggled in four runs this season and a tongue-tie didn't make any difference at Kempton three weeks ago; has lots to prove including stamina at this new trip.

Form & Verdict
All four starts have been at around 5f, with clearly her best efforts coming on soft ground on debut and heavy ground last Tuesday; third of ten in a nursery at Bath in the latter, rallying over the extended 5f; dam was a 1m winner, so this trip should be within reach; considered.

Form & Verdict
Gelded after third start; gambled-on co-favourite for nursery debut at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) on latest and duly lived up to his debut promise for the first time, staying on from the rear to be a close third of seven; that puts him high on the list and he may well build on it.

Record is only 1-16 but he's attractively treated, having gained the success (1m, good) off 2lb higher; tally could be doubled if he takes well to first-time visor with Bath reappearance under his belt.

The winner of one of his 15 starts, namely an 8.3f handicap at Nottingham last June (tongue tied first time); 2lb lower today after a quiet end to 2025; goes without any accessories this time but he ran well on his reappearance last spring and Henry Callan is a positive booking.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on softer than good; improved when never-nearer sixth of 13 at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on third start, before a no-show in maiden at Thirsk; gelded since and moves up in trip (dam 1m winner) for nursery debut, so a first competitive display should not be ruled out.

Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective.
