Very lightly raced 5yo who finished down the field on both outings in 2024 (April/August); reappears with something to prove but she looked promising in 2023 and the good form of her stable means she's worth a second look.

Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years.

Has tumbled down the weights since joining this yard but took big step back in right direction when unlucky seventh of 11 at Newcastle recently (5f, AW; beaten just under 3l); another 3lb lower today and has won on turf; major player if backing up that latest performance.

Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction.
