Made all to win a 5f fillies' maiden at Kempton on debut last May; came up short in Listed/Group 3 races on her next three starts; ended 2024 with a front-running third in a Newmarket sales race (6f, good to soft); well drawn for her reappearance and not discounted.

Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces.

In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well.

3-12 on AW compared to 0-17 on turf but last week's second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) suggests he can pick up a win on the grass off this sort of mark; has to enter calculations, although any easing of the ground possibly not ideal.

All three wins have been on the AW at Wolverhampton over 5f but he caught the eye finishing strongly for fourth at Thirsk (5f, good; Irish Dancer was second) nine days ago; possibly an unfortunate loser on that occasion having been hampered against the rail and and could make amends.

Form & Verdict
Showed her effectiveness around a sharp left-hand turn when winning the Lily Agnes at Chester 11 months ago; added a Windsor novice to her tally last September and she wasn't disgraced in an all-aged Dundalk Group 3 when last seen 162 days ago; not sure she's well handicapped but came to hand early last year.

Form & Verdict
Finished behind Megaphone at Kempton (6f) and over C&D before taking a big step forward when visored for his handicap debut at Chelmsford four weeks ago (5f), making all for a comfortable success; may do better still in the headgear but Megaphone should have his measure on these terms.

On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers.

Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead.
