Form & Verdict
Both wins at 1m and she acts well over C&D; two good efforts followed her return from nearly a year off but she didn't do herself justice at Southwell recently, finding little under pressure.

Won a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last February; beaten 3l when third in a similar event at Newcastle in January but she was below her best when visored for the first time (retained) there 28 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Won a Wolverhampton classified event (8.6f) one year ago; promising third in a similar C&D event last month, chasing home two rivals who have more than upheld the form; won't need much of a lift from the change of headgear to play a leading role.

Form & Verdict
Took time to break his duck but, having raced at up to 7f previously, he's found improvement at about 1m for his new yard and looked better than classified level when a clear C&D winner last week; obvious chance for trainer/jockey team going great guns.

Gained sole win in a classified event and has made the frame several times at that level in 2026; not the percentage call returned to a handicap and going into unknown territory trip-wise.

The winner of just one of his 42 starts but that success came in a 0-50 classified event on Tapeta and when ridden by Billy Loughnane (record on him reads 122425); finished in front of Hopjes when second over C&D ten days ago; should be involved again.

Form & Verdict
Five-time winner, the latest over two years ago; promising debut for new yard over 1m2f at Newcastle in December and although he didn't run his race there next time he shouldn't be ignored dropped to this level.

J: Elle-May Croot

T: Tristan Davidson

Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he returned to the Flat with an eyecatching third over C&D (hood reapplied) on recent stable debut; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix.

4 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Two 7f wins on Polytrack; acts on Tapeta and he ran well against a good yardstick at Southwell last month; not so good at Newcastle since and this trip is probably as far as he wants to go but can still play a part.

Course winner at 7f; last two wins have come in 1m and 7f classifieds at Southwell, most recently in January, but he wasn't the same proposition there last week; best C&D form would see him involved, if able to recapture it.
