Form & Verdict
She's struggled to get competitive in the second half of this year (including over C&D); however, she's now 4lb lower than when completing a Lingfield double (6f/5f, AW) in April and is one to watch in the betting in a first-time tongue-tie.

Three-time Polytrack winner who has plenty of toe and does a lot of her racing over 5f, as when turning in her best turf effort to date last time (not saying much); may be vulnerable late but should be able to grab the stand rail in front if that's the plan.

His losing run continues and he was disappointing at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last Wednesday; however, he posted two fair runs there (1m/7f) last month when shaping as though this drop back to 6f could be a good move; won over C&D in February 2023, and has run well in these reapplied cheekpieces.

0-8 and hard to fancy on the vast majority of his form, and he refused to enter the stalls and was withdrawn at Bath in October; however, this headstrong sort has had wind surgery since his last run for Adam West and could be suited by the drop back in trip on stable debut; not a forlorn hope.
