T: Andrew Balding

Four wins on AW, latest in a valuable Newcastle handicap; needs to prove herself on turf; her single attempt (at Goodwood a year ago) was too bad to be true; has beaten Irish-trained handicappers on her last two starts; faces opposition of a much higher standard now.

2-2 at Newcastle, recording wide-margin handicap wins over 1m in November and this trip in the trial in January; the form of the latest win is unconvincing, however, and she had been beaten by Bridget's View at Southwell on her penultimate start; has to be respected but this will require another step forward.

Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid.

Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range.

Offered promise at Southwell on his debut in February; absent until returning at Brighton three weeks ago (7f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) and his market strength against three rivals with BHA marks in the 70s was notable; hung left and looked green off the bridle there but he still has time to do better; interesting to see if his backers return.

Won twice this year (post wind surgery) for Ivan Furtado, keeping on well at Southwell (1m, Class 5; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; not at his best at Wetherby (tenth) latest, but there's still a chance he can prove competitive from this revised mark.
