Form & Verdict
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.

Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Tom Ward

Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use.

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.

Palpably green when splitting Megaphone and Desert Champion over C&D in February and his finishing effort was eyecatching; failed to back it up over 6f here last month but he's of interest now handicapping in a tongue-tie.

Promise amid greenness in one 2yo run for Roger Varian; made all at Kempton on his stable debut in January (6f) and defied a penalty over C&D eight weeks ago (Desert Champion back in third and 7lb worse off today); gelded since; open to further progress and looks solid.

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.
