Form & Verdict
Promising third at Ascot (1m, soft) last September; Music Piece finished about 2l ahead that day and Winter's Song did the same at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, when this one was hemmed in before making some late gains; has a 6lb pull with both, so in the mix, but not as striking as some.

Largely progressive sort (1m2f winner) last season but she wasn't seen out after posting just a fair fifth of seven in 1m6f Newmarket handicap in August; this demands a clear personal best after eight months off the track.

Won Sandown novice (1m2f, good) in April and contested Group 3 and Listed races the next twice before a keeping-on third when upped in trip on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); there's every chance today's further increase in distance will suit and this 3yo is one to consider.

Won a novice at Sandown (1m2f, good) in April; ran creditably in defeat since in a Group 3 at York (1m2f, good to firm) and Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft), particularly when third in the latter; this opening handicap mark is a concern but 1m4f may well suit.

Soft-ground 2yo winner last September who has been consistent in defeat this season over 1m2f-1m6f; none of those 2025 races were on soft but latest was on good to soft; perhaps a return to the mud would boost her cause.

2yo soft-ground winner and beaten a neck in Goodwood Listed race (1m2f, good) in May; unable to muster a telling challenge in 1m4f/1m2f handicaps in her two starts since, which were creditable runs on the figures but show that she needs a fair bit better.

Oaks entry; by Frankel and the first foal of Irish Oaks/Prix Vermeille winner Star Catcher; 9-2 when winning an eight-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, looking green (carried head high) but coming from the rear to go on 1f out; Luke Catton retains the ride; while she probably faced limited opposition on debut, she could turn out to be a big improver.

She can race awkwardly but kept on for fifth, beaten only about 3l, in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with narrow handicap win at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; further improvement is necessary but her dam won the Irish Oaks and her stable has won four of the last ten runnings of this race; one of two for yard.

Won on sole 2yo outing; carried head high when failing to live up to expectations on first two 3yo starts (1m2f/1m4f) but cheekpieces seemed to help in a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (20-1) on latest outing and she has made some progress in form terms; needs better still on this handicap debut over new trip but she's a lightly raced 3yo who should have more to offer.
